1998 Map of Kansas Valley

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this section of Harding County, showing a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and natural drainage patterns at the end of the twentieth century. The map meticulously records the water sources essential to this high plains environment, including a network of named windmills such as West Spear Windmill, Jackson Windmill, and Nugen Windmill. These landmarks, along with the Gravel Pit, highlight the sparse but vital human footprint within the grassland.
