1970 Map of Jetmore SE

About this map

Buckner Creek meanders across the northern portion of this High Plains landscape, following the path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The map reveals a specialized agricultural and extractive economy in transition during the early 1970s, where traditional cattle operations like the Feed Lot exist alongside industrial energy developments. The southern half of the quadrangle is defined by the extensive Lippoldt Oil Field, while the Hanston-Oppy Oil Field occupies the northeastern corner. Public land use is represented by the Hodgeman County State Park, which includes a designated Picnic Area near the banks of Rock Creek. The map provides a distinct record of land management through various townships including Center, Marena, and Sterling, marked by numerous Oil Wells, Caliche Pits, and a Quarry.
