About this map

Satanta sits at the heart of this Western Kansas landscape, defined by a grid of agricultural fields and the infrastructure of the mid-century energy boom. The town is physically anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which bisects the quadrangle diagonally from the southwest to the northeast. Beyond the residential blocks, the plains are marked by extensive industrial activity, including the Lemon Northeast Oil Field and the expansive Victory and Gas Field.

Evidence of local history and rural life appears in the small details, such as the Dudley Cem located north of town and the Satanta Landing Strip on the western edge. Numerous wells and pipelines crisscross the terrain, connecting a central Pumping Station to the broader regional network. The southern margin of the map tracks the county line between Haskell Co and Seward Co, showing the transition from town lots to the open prairie.
