1966 Map of North of Sand Creek

About this map

Mattox Draw snakes through this high plains landscape of western Kansas, defining the drainage patterns of the Richland and Liberty townships during the mid-1960s. The terrain is characterized by subtle topographic shifts, primarily dedicated to agricultural use and the developing energy sector of the era. The presence of several Gas Wells and a major diagonal Pipeline underscores the industrial significance of the region's natural resources. In the southwestern corner, the Dykeman Airport provides a rare landmark of aviation infrastructure amidst the surveyed sections. This map captures a moment of transition where traditional land divisions meet the expanding footprint of modern utility and transport networks, making it a valuable resource for tracing the infrastructure development of Hamilton County.
