1960 Map of Garden City 3 SE

About this map

Haskell and Lockport townships define this section of the High Plains, where the agricultural landscape is heavily marked by energy infrastructure. Numerous sites for Gas Wells and an occasional Oil Well dot the section lines, connected by an extensive network of Pipelines and a primary Pipeline corridor. The central portion of the map features an Abandoned Canal, a silent witness to early irrigation efforts in this arid region. Near the western edge, the Haskell Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists researching early families in the county. The southern reaches are traversed by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which served as the vital transportation link for the grain and livestock economy of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
