1972 Map of Saint John SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The agrarian landscape of central Kansas is defined by the wandering path of Wild Horse Creek and the industrial footprint of energy extraction in the early 1970s. This survey of the border region between Pawnee and Stafford counties reveals a sophisticated network of Pipelines and an expansive Oil and Gas Field. Amidst the township divisions of Valley Center and Cleveland, localized infrastructure like a Compressor Station and Radio Tower serve the rural energy economy. A solitary Grave and a modest Townhall provide glimpses into the sparse human settlement of the era. The presence of James Lake offers a distinct hydrologic break in the undulating terrain otherwise punctuated by numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole.
