1968 Map of Plains NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Ellsaesser Pond stands as a rare water feature in this portion of the High Plains, situated within the township of Lockport. This 1968 topography reflects a landscape defined by industrial extraction and agricultural organization, where numerous wells and gas wells dot the section lines. The map captures the meeting point of several jurisdictional boundaries, including Copeland, Merrill, and Morris townships, alongside the county lines for Haskell, Meade, and Seward. A prominent Radio Tower in the southwestern quadrant serves as a modern landmark amidst a grid of unimproved roads and farm fields. The land is characterized by subtle elevation changes, marked by five-foot contour intervals that reveal the gentle depressions and rises of the Kansas prairie during the late 1960s.
