About this map

Leoti serves as the focal point of this Wichita County landscape, established at the junction of local transit and the Missouri Pacific railroad. The town's layout reflects a self-sufficient prairie hub, containing a High Sch, a Fairground, and the Mark Hoard Memorial Airfield. Outside the primary grid, the settlement of Coronado and the County Cem are connected by a network of section roads that navigate the High Plains terrain.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of White Woman Creek, which cuts a distinct path through the upland plains. This drainage system, along with Rocky Draw, provides the only significant relief in an area otherwise characterized by vast agricultural allotments and scattered industrial markers like the Gravel Pit and Sewage Disposal Ponds. The presence of numerous wells across the survey area underscores the importance of groundwater for sustaining life and industry in this western Kansas environment during the early 1970s.
