1979 Map of Harrison Flats

About this map

Wallace Bluffs and the level plateau of Harrison Flats define this Western Kansas landscape, where the High Plains drop into a series of drainages. The settlement of Wallace sits at the base of the bluffs, positioned near where Coon Creek meets the broader valley. This 1979 revision, based on aerial photography from the late 1950s and 1970s, captures the rural infrastructure of Wallace County, including the Harrison Flats Sch and Dinas Ch. The map illustrates a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and field boundaries typical of the region's agricultural layout, interrupted only by the winding paths of Twin Butte Creek and Chalk Creek. A major underground pipeline cuts across the flats, reflecting the energy transit role this open country serves alongside its ranching and farming operations.
