1972 Map of Gove NE

About this map

Hackberry Creek winds through the heart of this Gove County landscape, defining the topography across the townships of Payne and Baker. This 1970s survey captures a rural environment where land use is marked by scattered infrastructure, including several Well sites that punctuate the terrain near the watercourses. The drainage patterns of E Spring Cr and its tributaries reveal the natural erosion of the High Plains, providing a clear record of the watershed before modern agricultural shifts. For those tracing the evolution of western Kansas, these labels offer a specific look at the late twentieth-century layout of ranching and resource extraction in a region shaped by its creeks.
