2012 Map of Jetmore NE

About this map

The sub-surface energy economy of Hodgeman County is clearly visible on this 2012 survey, which identifies several active production areas across the northern High Plains landscape. Operations such as the Wieland North Oil Field and the nearby Wieland West Oil Field occupy the higher ground between seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Sand Cr in the north and the extensive meanders of Dry Cr which cuts through the central portion of the quadrangle. Further south, the Hanston-Oppy Oil Field marks the industrial footprint of the region's petroleum extraction. This map illustrates the intersection of a rigid section-line road grid with the natural, erratic topography of the Kansas prairie, providing a detailed record of land use and resource management in the early 21st century.
