About this map

Union Pacific rails cut across the northern reaches of Logan County in the late 1970s, tracing a path through the high plains of western Kansas. This landscape is defined by the drainage network of Hackberry Creek, which splits into the North Branch Hackberry Creek, Middle Branch Hackberry Creek, and South Branch Hackberry Creek. The terrain is marked by industrial activity typical of the High Plains, including a substantial Oil Field and several extraction sites like Gravel Pits and a smaller Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment of transition where the vast ranching and agricultural lands are overlaid with the infrastructure of energy and transport, including a major Pipeline running north to south. These features illustrate the economic reliance on both the natural watercourses and the underground resources that shaped this section of the Kansas plains.
