1971 Map of Langdon

About this map

Langdon and Lerado anchor this Reno County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the industrial infrastructure of the 1970s. The northern half of the map is defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which parallels a major pipeline as it passes through the community near Fairfield High Sch and Langdon Cem. Further south, the landscape shifts toward energy production within the Bell and Lerado Oil Field, where numerous oil wells and drill holes are scattered across the terrain near Lerado Cem. A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts horizontally across the lower sections of the map, providing a glimpse into the earlier territorial divisions of Kansas. Waterways like Silver Creek, Wolf Creek, and Goose Creek provide natural drainage across the rolling land between the towns.
