The high plains of Stevens County revolve around the hub of Hugoton, a town defined in the mid-1970s by its role in the energy and transportation sectors. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, paralleling a massive network of industrial infrastructure including a Compressor Station, a Powerplant, and numerous subterranean Pipelines. This survey captures the town's civic core, featuring the Po, Secondary Schs, and a Museum, while leisure and logistics are represented by a Drive-in Theater and the Hugoton Municipal Airport. The surrounding townships of West Center and Center are characterized by a dense grid of gas wells, revealing the heavy reliance on the underlying Hugoton Gas Field during this era of Kansas history.
