1959 Map of Hickok NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Pleasant Prairie Oil Field dominates this corner of Southwest Kansas, where the intersection of Kearny, Finney, Grant, and Haskell counties defines the landscape. Surveyed in 1959 with updates through the late 1970s, the map reveals an intensive network of energy extraction across Kendall, Ivanhoe, Sherman, and Dudley townships. The density of industrial features like the Pipeline and numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells illustrates the region's post-war economic shift toward natural gas production. Amidst this industrial grid, local community hubs remain visible, such as the Pleasant Prairie Ch. and the adjacent Pleasant Prairie Sch. A small Trailer Park in the eastern section of the quadrangle provides a rare marker of concentrated residential settlement in this otherwise expansive rural and industrial territory.
