1960 Map of Garden City SW

About this map

Garden City and the surrounding plains of Finney County reveal an era defined by a growing energy economy and established township divisions. This 1960 field-checked survey highlights the transition from traditional agriculture to intensive subsurface resource extraction, with dozens of Gas Wells and an occasional Oil Well scattered across the grid. The landscape is organized by the boundaries of Ivanhoe and Sherlock, reflecting the structured land management of western Kansas.
