1974 Map of North of Pierceville

About this map

Pleasant Valley and Pierceville define the vast, open high plains of western Kansas in the mid-1970s. This survey records a landscape shaped by section-line roads and the emergence of the regional energy economy, characterized by the frequent presence of Gas Wells dotting the township grids. The terrain is divided into large rectangular blocks, reflecting the systematic land management of Logan and Garfield townships. Located along the border of Finney and Gray counties, the area is bisected by the diagonal route of highway 156, which cuts across the predominantly north-south and east-west orientation of the local agricultural and gas-field tracks. This map provides a precise record of the infrastructure supporting rural Kansas life and industry during a period of steady energy development.
