1976 Map of Lowe

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high plains of western Kansas are defined by a complex network of resource extraction and irrigation infrastructure in the late 1970s. The landscape across the townships of Terry, Sherlock, and Garden City is heavily shaped by the presence of a sprawling Oil and Gas Field, with numerous individual gas and oil wells dotting the sections. Transportation and utility corridors are prominent, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line and a major Ditch system reflecting the region's agricultural reliance on water management. Small rural centers such as Lowe and Rodkey provide historical focal points, alongside the Toper Cem and specialized facilities like the Air-Ag Airport. Ephemeral water bodies such as Ackley Lake and McCoy Lake break the terrain, while the Radio Tower (KUPK) stands as a modern landmark in the expansive Pleasant Valley.
