1972 Map of Proffitt Lake NW

About this map

Little Congregational Cem stands near the southern boundary of this Meade County landscape, serving as a primary cultural anchor in an area defined by rural industry and natural drainage. The terrain is deeply carved by the winding paths of Sand Creek and Twomile Creek, which dictate the local topography during this early 1970s period. While largely open land, the presence of numerous Gas Wells and scattered Drill Holes reflects the intensive energy exploration occurring throughout Logan and Sand Creek townships. A major Pipeline traverses the northeast, cutting across the contour lines of the plains. This survey documents a specific moment in the evolution of the Kansas High Plains, where agricultural grazing land and subterranean resource extraction exist alongside isolated springs and long-established local landmarks.
