1973 Map of Johnson NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek carve through the High Plains landscape of Western Kansas, marking the drainage patterns across the Hamilton and Stanton County line. The terrain is characterized by a high frequency of wells, signaling the vital role of groundwater extraction in this semi-arid agricultural region during the early 1970s. Local transit and infrastructure are represented by the small Cockrum Airport and the community of Parks, while a Gaging Station on the lower reach of the creek monitor's the area's intermittent water flow. A small Sandpit in the southeast corner provides evidence of local industrial material extraction. The map also includes several specific benchmarks, such as BM Hellwig, which offer valuable fixed points for genealogists or surveyors tracing property lines and historical land use in this sparsely populated stretch of the Great Plains.
