1985 Map of Pratt

About this map

Pratt Sandhills State Wildlife Area and the State Fish Hatchery anchor this mid-1980s landscape across the transition from Stafford into Pratt and Kingman counties. The regional geography is defined by the east-flowing North Fork Ninnescah River and South Fork Ninnescah River, which feed toward Cheney Lake. Infrastructure of the era is dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads, which historically dictated the placement of agricultural hubs like Stafford, Cunningham, and Macksville. The grid-patterned sections reveal a high density of rural townships such as Rose Valley, Dresden, and Fairview, while local landmarks like Stafford Cem and the Pilot Knob terrain feature provide specific points of interest for genealogical and topographical research.
