1967 Map of Pierceville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Arkansas River cuts across the northern edge of this Kansas landscape, defining a narrow corridor of riparian activity against the high plains of Logan, Pierceville, and Ingalls. In the late 1960s, this region was a landscape of extraction and transport, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks paralleled the river's path. South of the water, the terrain is marked by a repetitive grid of land sections dotted with numerous Gas Wells and irrigation Wells, illustrating the heavy reliance on subterranean resources for both energy and agriculture. The intersection of Finney Co and Gray Co borders highlights the administrative divisions of this prairie country, where infrastructure like the Radio Tower and various Gravel Pits served the growing local economy and communication needs of the mid-20th century.
