1971 Map of Little Salt Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Quivira National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western portion of this Kansas landscape, preserving a vital wetland environment centered on the Little Salt Marsh. Fed by Rattlesnake Creek and Horseshoe Lake, the refuge system represents a critical stopover for migratory birds in the Central Flyway. Just outside the refuge boundaries, the land transitions to the agricultural and extractive patterns typical of the Kansas prairie in the early 1970s. The eastern half of the map, particularly within North Hayes and Hayes, is dotted with numerous Oil Wells, indicating the region's reliance on petroleum production alongside farming. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks such as the Fairview Ch, Peace Creek Cem, and Hayes Cem, which mark the community centers and ancestral burial grounds of the families living along Peace Creek.
