1960 Map of Garden City 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The High Plains of Haskell County are defined by a sprawling grid of energy infrastructure and section lines as they appeared in 1960. This survey documents a landscape dominated by the Hugoton Gas Area, where dozens of sites marked simply as Gas Well puncture the flat terrain. The sheer density of these wells, distributed with mathematical precision across the townships of Dudley and Haskell, illustrates the mid-century industrialization of western Kansas. Cultural markers are few in this sparsely populated region, with the Haskell Cem in the eastern portion of the sheet serving as one of the few named landmarks for genealogists or local historians tracing early families of the county. The map's contour lines show very little elevation change, highlighting the plateau-like character of the Kansas prairie before more modern development altered the surface.
