1960 Map of Plymell

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Plymell serves as the primary settlement hub in this southwestern Kansas landscape, appearing as it did during the 1960 field check. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of extraction infrastructure, with dozens of individual Gas Well sites scattered across the townships of Garden City, Ivanhoe, and Pierceville. These labels indicate a mid-century energy boom that transformed the prairie surface. Beyond the energy sector, the map documents early telecommunications infrastructure, such as the Tower (KGLD-TV), providing a specific point of reference for local historians. This survey also records a network of fine red dashed lines that represent fence and field lines visible from 1958 aerial photography, offering a precise look at historical land division and agricultural boundaries in Finney County before modern consolidation.
