About this map

The Cimarron River cuts across the northern reaches of this Kansas landscape, defined by the stark transition from river valley to the surveyed plains of Morton Co and Stevens Co. In the early 1970s, this region was a critical node in the energy and transportation network of the High Plains. The southwest corner is dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, running parallel to a major highway corridor. This area’s industrial character is highlighted by an extensive network of natural gas extraction, with numerous labels for Gas Wells and a central Booster Station marking the infrastructure of the Hugoton Gas Field. Scattered townships and geographic markers like Richfield, West Center, Rolla, and Voorhees provide a framework for the agricultural and utility-driven land use of the era.
