1968 Map of Haviland NW

About this map

Rattlesnake Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Rattlesnake Creek, define the topography of this rural landscape in south-central Kansas. Situated along the border of Edwards and Kiowa counties, the terrain is characterized by the agricultural and industrial infrastructure of the late 1960s, with revisions captured into the early 1980s. The map shows a network of section lines and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the open country. Pockets of industrial activity are visible through scattered Oil Wells and other markers, while the township divisions of South Brown and Franklin provide the primary geographical framework. The presence of multiple pipelines and wells indicates the persistent role of the energy sector in shaping the use of these plains during the post-war era.
