About this map

Seward and the surrounding Logan County countryside are defined by a sophisticated network of water management and energy extraction in this 2010 study. The landscape is dotted with numerous reservoirs and flood control structures, such as Cottonwood Creek Site 55 Reservoir and Liberty Lake, which manage the drainage of Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries. This reliance on artificial impoundments reflects the region's agricultural and municipal water needs.

Industry and aviation are equally prominent, with the East Guthrie Lake Gas and Oil Field and the Southwest Pleasant Valley Gas and Oil Field highlighting the importance of petroleum resources to the local economy. Small airfields like Ellis/Harvey Airport and Myrick Airport supplement the primary Guthrie Municipal Airport, indicating a region well-connected by private and commercial flight. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Seward Cemetery and the Central Christian Camp, which serve the small communities nestled along the section-line roads.
