1959 Map of Hickok NW

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lincoln and Sherman townships dominate this High Plains landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s, a period marked by the systematic expansion of the petroleum industry across the prairie. The map is heavily punctuated by numerous Gas Wells, indicating the intensive development of the Hugoton Gas Area at this time. Amidst this industrial footprint, rural life remains anchored by landmarks such as Hillcrest Sch near the northern border and Warrendale Sch further south. These schools, along with the boundary between Kearny Co and Grant Co, provide critical spatial context for genealogists tracing family homesteads in Kendall and surrounding rural districts during this post-war energy boom.
