1968 Map of Pratt SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The broad floor of McPherson Valley dominates this prairie landscape southeast of Pratt during the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the headwaters of the Chikaskia River and its tributaries, Painter Creek and Sand Creek, which cut through the high plains. Industrial activity is concentrated in the northwest at the Chitwood Oil Field and along the various pipelines that traverse the township lines. Local social life is anchored by the Ashton Community Hall, a notable landmark for genealogists tracing rural community hubs in this part of Kansas. The map also delineates land divisions including Paxon and Grove, illustrating the organized grid of agriculture and extraction that shaped the region's mid-century development.
