About this map

Boyd Oil Field and the Carroll Oil Field define the industrial footprint of this central Kansas landscape, where numerous oil wells are interspersed among the rectangular grid of section lines. The city of Hoisington serves as the regional hub, situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad lines. The town’s social infrastructure is clearly mapped, including Eisenhower Sch, Roosevelt Sch, and Lincoln Sch, alongside a Hospital and a Cemetery.

Outside the city limits, the terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Blood Creek and Deception Creek, which cut through townships like North Homestead and Wheatland. Small communities and transit points like Boyd and South Hoisington are recorded near active utility corridors, including several pipelines and a Gaging Station on the creek. This survey provides a precise record of the mid-century petroleum economy and the civic development of Barton County.
