2010 Map of Kimball

About this map

Kimball sits at the center of this High Plains landscape, where the agricultural grid of Hansford County is punctuated by industrial energy extraction and water management. The terrain is defined by the Shapley Gas and Oil Field in the northwest and the Hansford North Gas and Oil Field to the east, illustrating the region's reliance on petroleum resources alongside ranching. Drainages like Farwell Draw and Hackberry Creek cut across the surveyed sections, leading toward the southern reaches of Palo Duro Creek. Human modification of the arid environment is evident at Cargill Industries Lake, where the Cargill Industries Lake Dam creates a significant water feature for local industry. For genealogists, the presence of the Gruver Cemetery in the southwest corner provides a specific point of historical interest within this vast landscape of section roads and farm-to-market routes.
