1966 Map of Lakin SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bear Creek meanders through this portion of Kearny County, cutting a path through a landscape defined by expansive deposits of Shifting Sand. In the late 1960s and through the 1970s, this region was a focus of energy extraction, evidenced by the dense network of Gas Wells and connecting pipelines that crisscross the townships of South Townside and Kendall. The irrigation infrastructure of the Southside Ditch in the northern reach contrasts with the more arid, dune-filled terrain to the south. Small-scale industrial activity is also noted via a Gravel Pit and scattered Drill Holes, showing the dual reliance on surface minerals and deep subterranean resources in this Kansas high plains environment.
