About this map

Leoti and Tribune serve as the primary hubs for this Western Kansas landscape, which is defined by a dense grid of section lines and the linear paths of the Pacific Union and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The map captures the agricultural and industrial character of the High Plains in the late 20th century, notably detailing a significant Gas Field in the southern portion of the region.

Hydraulic features like White Woman Creek, Sand Creek, and the Arkansas River cut through the terrain, accompanied by numerous draws including Mattox Draw and James Draw. Aviation history is well-represented through a network of small landing sites such as the Mark Heard Memorial Airfield, Tuttle Landing Field, and Lewis Airport. In the southwest, the Hamilton County State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area provides a distinct pocket of managed natural space amidst the surrounding townships of Richland and Medway.
