2012 Map of Nickel Mine Spring

About this map

Nickel Mine Spring stands as a focal point in this Logan County landscape, highlighting a region defined by its vital water sources and sparse, grid-like road network. The terrain is navigated by a series of named rural routes, including Lariat, Kiowa, Hunter, and Fawn, which follow the section lines of the High Plains. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and ranching layout of western Kansas, where water landmarks like the spring were historically critical for livestock and early travelers. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and the systematic land divisions that characterize this portion of the state.
