1974 Map of Rolla
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The town of Rolla anchors the northeastern corner of this 1970s landscape, serving as a vital hub where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally across the High Plains. This era of the mid-1970s is defined by a dense grid of energy extraction, with dozens of Gas Well and Oil Well locations marking the subsurface wealth of Morton County. Beyond the town's center, where a prominent Water Tank and the Rolla Cem are situated, the map documents a vast network of underground pipelines that supported the region's petroleum industry. The terrain is relatively uniform, yet the industrial footprint of the Cimarron Rolla area shows a landscape thoroughly utilized for its natural resources during a period of significant domestic energy production.
