1978 Map of Plainville SE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Saline River winds through the northern section of this Ellis County landscape, carving a valley defined by prominent features like Bluff and the entry of Sand Creek. By the late 1970s, this area was heavily defined by energy extraction, with the expansive Bemis Shutts Oil Field and the Buckeye field occupying vast stretches of the terrain. The network of section roads and oil well pads contrasts with the traditional rural layout, showing how the petroleum industry integrated into the agricultural grid.
