1970 Map of Ness City SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders through the central plains of western Kansas in this 1970 survey, carving a distinct valley across the Ness Co Hodgeman Co line. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and the emergence of the energy industry, most notably marked by the extensive Riverside Oil Field in the center of the map. For local historians and genealogists, the small settlement of Riverside and the nearby Riverside Cem serve as key landmarks for tracing family roots in the area. The terrain transitions from the high plains of Franklin and Highpoint down toward the southern drainage of Marena Creek in the Marena district. Scattered across the southern portion are several Sandpits, indicating local resource extraction alongside the oil operations that define the mid-century economy of this region.
