1969 Map of Russell Springs 2 SE

About this map

Twin Butte Creek meanders through the central and southern portions of this High Plains landscape, cutting across the townships of Augustine and Paxton. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sparsely populated region of Logan County characterized by its water sources and small-scale industrial extractions. Significant landmarks include Nickel Mine Spring and several unnamed Spring sites that provided essential water in this semi-arid environment. Evidence of local resource use is found in the scattered Quarry and Gravel Pit locations, likely supporting the development of the area's light-duty road network. The terrain is divided into large sections such as Western and Russell Springs, reflecting the expansive land divisions typical of western Kansas ranching and farming tracts during this era.
