About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders across the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, anchoring a region defined by agricultural townships and strategic rail corridors. The city of Kingman sits at the intersection of critical transit lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads. These lines were vital to the local economy, connecting grain elevators and small outposts like Browns Spur to larger markets.

Evidence of the area's specialized land use is visible in the numerous Fish Hatchery sites and the utility infrastructure represented by a Compressor Station and Radio Tower. Local history is preserved at the Hoosier Cem, while the Kingman Municipal Airport and Kingman Country Club reflect the civic development of the late 1960s. The map also delineates township divisions such as Hoosier and Loda, and identifies several Gravel Pits and an Oil Well, highlighting the extraction of local natural resources.
