1968 Map of Plains NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Ellsaesser Pond and a network of Gas Wells define the landscape of Southwest Kansas in this late 1960s survey. The area sits at a complex junction of civil boundaries, where the corners of Haskell, Meade, and Seward counties meet. The township divisions of Lockport, Copeland, Mertilla, and Morris organize the high plains terrain, which is otherwise marked by subterranean energy infrastructure and scattered landmarks like a Radio Tower. The distribution of wells and the linear path of the Pipeline through the northern sections reflect the mid-century industrialization of the Hugoton Gas Area. This map is particularly useful for understanding the exact placement of land divisions and water features in an area where few large settlements exist.
