1976 Map of Lake Scott NE

About this map

Keystone Cem stands near the northern boundary of this High Plains landscape, marking the rural heritage of a region defined by its wide, open drainages and early energy exploration. The topography is dominated by the winding path of Hell Creek, which carves through the central portion of the quadrangle between the areas of Lees and Lewis. This 1970s survey captures the agricultural and industrial transition of western Kansas, where traditional farmsteads like Ryan exist alongside a growing network of resources, indicated by several scattered Wells and a specific Oil Well in the south. The intersection of Logan and Scott counties meets the Gove and Scott county lines here, centering on the township of Michigan. The inclusion of fine red dashed lines to represent fence and field lines provides an exceptionally detailed look at land division and property boundaries during this era.
