1969 Map of Greensburg NE

About this map

Rattlesnake Creek meanders through this portion of the Kansas High Plains, providing a primary drainage feature for the surrounding agricultural landscape during the late 1960s. The terrain is divided into distinct administrative and geographic blocks such as Butler, Valley, and Center, reflecting the township and range survey system. A significant network of pipelines crisscrosses the map, indicating the area's role in the regional energy infrastructure. This industrial presence is further evidenced by several oil wells, a gas well, and a Compressor Station equipped with a Water Tank. These features, alongside a Radio Tower and various wells, document a specialized landscape where cattle ranching or dryland farming coexists with active petroleum and natural gas extraction. The boundary between Edwards and Kiowa counties runs through the northern section, marking a key jurisdictional line for local researchers.
