About this map

Sand Creek winds through the northern landscape of this Western Kansas prairie, defining the drainage patterns in an area characterized by scattered agricultural operations. The terrain labels Whitewoman and West Hibbard denote the local townships, reflecting the rural organization of the High Plains during the early 1970s. This survey, based on 1968 aerial photography, shows a land surface dotted with numerous wells, vital infrastructure for irrigation and ranching in this semi-arid environment.

A notable north-south boundary for Wichita Co Kearny Co runs across the southern portion of the sheet, marking the transition between counties. Local history is anchored by a small Cem located in the northeast, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists tracking family roots in this corner of Wichita County. The presence of a prominent Pipeline cutting diagonally across the central sections reflects the post-war expansion of energy transport networks through the Kansas plains.
