1973 Map of Richfield NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Southwest Kansas is defined here by the wide, winding course of Sand Arroyo Creek, which cuts across the northern section of the terrain. This 1973 survey illustrates the sparsely settled nature of the region, where the primary human footprint consists of section lines and energy infrastructure. The small settlement of Cleaves stands as a focal point in the western half, while the presence of several Gas Wells and individual Wells indicates the importance of subsurface resources in this arid environment. Near the southern border, the Stanton and Morton County line marks a political boundary in an otherwise open stretch of prairie. Of particular interest to aviation history is the Johns Landing Field in the southeast, a small airstrip that speaks to the necessity of private flight in connecting these isolated agricultural and industrial outposts.
