1974 Map of Hugoton SE

About this map

Gas extraction defines the prairie landscape in this southwestern corner of the state during the mid-1970s. The survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of Voorhees and Banner, where a systematic grid of section lines and service roads supports a dense network of energy production. Dozens of sites marked Gas Well and the occasional Oil Well are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the industrial character of the Hugoton gas field. Near the center of the sheet, the Townhall stands as a focal point for the local community, situated just north of the township boundary dividing T 34 S and T 35 S. The map also documents the political border where Kansas and Oklahoma meet at the southern edge, with the Stevens County and Texas County line marking the jurisdictional transition between the two states.
