1985 Map of Larned
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Fort Larned National Historic Site stands as a focal point in this portion of western Kansas, where the high plains transition into the valley systems of the Arkansas River and the Pawnee River. This mid-1980s landscape reveals a grid-aligned agricultural economy supported by an extensive network of small grain-shipping towns along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Beyond the municipal centers of Larned and Ness City, the map details a rural infrastructure of named townships like Alexander-Belle Prairie and Browns Grove. The terrain is marked by numerous Oil and Gas Fields, particularly in the northern reaches near Nekoma and Bazine, while the Hodgeman County State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area provides a rare concentrated water resource in the western uplands.
