1978 Map of Lake Scott SW

About this map

Ladder Creek carves a sharp, winding canyon through the high plains of western Kansas, creating a distinct topographical break in an otherwise uniform agricultural landscape. This 1970s survey documents the rural character of Scott County, where the small community of Beaver Flats and the nearby Beaver Flats Sch served the surrounding farmsteads. The map highlights the area's economic infrastructure, from the industrial Feedlot operations and numerous Gravel Pits along the creek bluffs to the Pipelines traversing the townships. Local communication and aviation are represented by the Radio Tower (KFLA) and the Buehler Airfield, providing a detailed look at the specialized landmarks that anchored this prairie region during the late twentieth century.
