1974 Map of Horse Thief Canyon SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Sand Creek meanders through the high plains of western Kansas in this mid-1970s topographical record. The landscape is defined by the transition between several townships, including North Roscoe, South Roscoe, Benton, and Garfield. This area, where the borders of Finney, Hodgeman, and Gray counties converge, reflects a rural economy rooted in land management and resource extraction. Evidence of local industry is scattered across the terrain in the form of several Gravel Pits, a Caliche Pit, and a Sandpit, while a network of rural roads and highway 156 provide the primary infrastructure for the region's agricultural and industrial transport. The placement of numerous wells further indicates the vital importance of groundwater in this arid corner of the state.
