1966 Map of Lakin SW

About this map

The Arkansas river valley defines the northern edge of this territory, where the Southside Ditch provides vital irrigation to the surrounding plains. The landscape is characterized by extensive Sand Dunes that roll across the high ground, punctuated by a dense network of energy infrastructure. Numerous Gas Well locations are scattered throughout the Kendall boundary, illustrating the significant industrial footprint of the mid-1960s. Rural life is anchored by the North Star Sch in the western reaches, while a secluded Landing Strip and a Claypit further south indicate the varied land use of this Kearny County landscape. A major Pipeline traverses the terrain, connecting the dispersed extraction points across the sandy expanses. In the southeast, Bear Cr cuts through the plains, offering a rare hydrological feature in an otherwise dry and dune-heavy environment.
