1969 Map of Haggard

About this map

The railroad community of Haggard sits at the center of this High Plains landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural environment, where township boundaries like Cimarron meet the broad depressions of West Hess and East Hess. A singular modern landmark, the Radio Tower (KTVC), rises above the section lines and numerous irrigation wells that dot the terrain. This late-1960s survey illustrates a region defined by precise land management, with fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field divisions preserved from aerial photogrammetry. The concentration of water resources and transportation infrastructure highlights the importance of the rail corridor in sustaining the agrarian economy of Gray County.
