1968 Map of Russell Springs 3 SE

About this map

Ladder Creek and Beaver Creek dominate this High Plains landscape, where deep drainage patterns break the surface of the Edwards and Leoti regions. This 1960s survey documents a sparse agricultural environment characterized by isolated landmarks and critical water resources. Religious and civic life is centered at the Pleasant Valley Ch and its neighboring Cem, while further south, the Coronado Cem serves as a lone marker on the prairie. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and numerous Well sites, underscoring the reliance on groundwater for the ranching and farming operations that define this portion of Wichita County. The intricate contouring along the creek breaks provides a clear view of the natural erosion that shapes this otherwise level terrain.
