1978 Map of Jennings
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Jennings serves as the central hub of this northwestern Kansas landscape, situated at the confluence of transport and industry in the late 1970s. The town is anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, paralleling the course of Prairie Dog Creek. The map reveals a diversified rural economy where traditional agriculture meets energy extraction, evidenced by the extensive Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern townships of Altory and Garfield. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the Jennings Cem on the outskirts of town to the Wt and several Sandpit locations. The natural topography is marked by the broad Pleasant Valley and the winding path of Big Timber Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in Decatur County.
