1978 Map of Lake Scott SE

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across this High Plains landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the region's agricultural and industrial output in the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by the townships of Michigan, Keystone, and Scott, where a network of section lines and fence rows organize the open country. This survey illustrates the intense resource management of the era, visible in the concentrated Feedlot operations and the proliferation of energy infrastructure, including Pipelines and numerous Oil Wells. The map's detailed topography, marked by five-foot contour intervals, reveals the subtle depressions and drainage patterns characteristic of the Kansas plains, providing a clear record of the rural land-use patterns that shaped the local economy during this period.
