1976 Map of Modoc SE

About this map

White Woman Creek and Sand Creek cut across this High Plains landscape, defining the hydrology of western Kansas in the mid-1970s. The terrain transitions between the elevated flats of East Hibbard and Terry, separated by a broad central Valley. This area reflects an era of increasing resource extraction, as evidenced by an active Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells across the northern sections. Topographic features like Rocky Draw provide natural relief against the predominantly flat agricultural and energy-producing lands. The map also documents the industrial infrastructure of the time, including a prominent Pipeline and local Gravel Pit operations. Positioned along the boundary where Scott County and Finney County meet, this survey captures a specific moment in the rural development of the region.
