1974 Map of Kansas Valley Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Kansas Valley Lake and its surrounding drainage systems define this landscape in Harding County during the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a ranching and water-management network centered on intermittent draws and named windmills, such as Starvation Windmill and Lake Windmills. This semi-arid terrain is deeply carved by watercourses including Tequesquite Creek, Pat Le Doux Creek, and Las Canelas Creek, which flow toward the central basin. Evidence of local land use and private history appears through the Johnson Cem and various named family landmarks like Weisdorfer Draw and Matilda Draw. A technical infrastructure of fences and an Aqueduct near the southern boundary suggests a landscape carefully managed for livestock or irrigation. The presence of a Gravel Pit indicates small-scale resource extraction amidst the extensive network of draws, including Reunion Draw and Ojitos Draw, that dominate the topographic relief.
