1974 Map of Horse Thief Canyon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

North Roscoe and Garfield townships characterize this western Kansas landscape during the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pawnee River and its tributaries, including Hackberry Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The rural community life of the era is anchored at the intersection of local history and gathering, evidenced by the Kitterville Community Hall and the nearby Kitterville Cem. This survey reflects a sparsely populated agricultural region where section lines dictate the movement of people and resources, and the presence of a Pipeline suggests the infrastructure of the modern energy economy cutting across the open plains. In addition to the major watercourses, numerous small wells and intermittent Sand Creek drainages show the vital importance of water management in this arid prairie environment.
