1968 Map of Haviland NW

About this map

Rattlesnake Creek meanders through this High Plains landscape, marking a prominent natural drainage pattern in northern Kiowa County. The 1968 field-checked survey reveals an era of mid-century infrastructure, characterized by several straight-line pipelines that cut across the agricultural township boundaries. The terrain is defined by the borders of South Brown, Franklin, Valley, Union, Center, and Brenham, illustrating the organized grid of Kansas land division. Smaller hydrological details like the East Fork and scattered resources such as a marked Oil Well and well sites provide specific points of interest for those researching local land use and development during the late 1960s.
