1966 Map of Mattox Draw SW

About this map

The high plains of western Kansas during the mid-1960s reveal a landscape defined by industrial expansion and large-scale land divisions. The townships of West Hibbard and Hartland are characterized by a regular grid of section lines and a burgeoning energy infrastructure. The map documents an extensive network of mineral extraction sites, with numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the undulating terrain. A major Pipeline traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle, indicating the region's role as a critical energy corridor. These petroleum features, often situated near individual section markers, provide a specific record of land use and subsurface development before later consolidation in the industry. The sparse distribution of surface water and the prominence of industrial labels reflect the arid, resource-focused economy of the High Plains era.
