1985 Map of Russell
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Oil Field developments dominate the central Kansas plains in this mid-1980s look at the region spanning Russell and Ellsworth counties. The landscape is defined by the intersection of industrial energy extraction and significant water management projects, most notably the massive Wilson Lake and Kanopolis Lake reservoirs. These water bodies, along with the Saline River and Smoky Hill River, provide the primary breaks in a grid of section lines and rural homesteads. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the unique wetland geography of Cheyenne Bottoms, a critical ecological feature flanked by the Cheyenne Bottoms State Wildlife Area.
