1966 Map of Laketon

About this map

Laketon sits at a geographic crossroads along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, where the industrial presence of the Laketon Grain Elevators anchors the local economy. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high plains to the carved drainage of Cantonment Creek, which winds through the southern portion of the sheet. This 1966 field survey documents a region defined by energy and transport, evidenced by a dense network of numbered gas wells and a major Pipeline cutting across the central plains.
