1965 Map of Kanona NE

About this map

Sappa Creek meanders deeply across this High Plains landscape, its winding course defining the agricultural and industrial character of the region during the mid-1960s. The terrain is marked by the distinct boundaries of Harlan, Grant, Roosevelt, and Lincoln townships, where the land-use pattern transitions between cultivated fields and resource extraction. Evidence of the local economy is visible in the Warner Oil Field and scattered oil wells, alongside several gravel pits that suggest active infrastructure development. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the White Cem provides a specific point of reference within this rural Decatur County landscape. This survey was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's efforts for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reflecting a period of systematic mapping and resource management in western Kansas.
