1974 Map of Scott City 4 SW

About this map

The High Plains of western Kansas are defined here by a systematic grid of section lines and the emerging energy infrastructure of the mid-1970s. This landscape, spanning the border of Finney Co and Gray Co, is organized into large-scale townships including Pleasant Valley, Pierceville, Garfield, and Logan. Unlike more settled regions, the primary indicators of industrial activity are the numerous scattered Gas Wells and generic Wells that punctuate the prairie, indicating the development of the Hugoton gas area or similar local fields. A central Oil Field highlights the region's economic reliance on subsurface mineral extraction. The map provides a clear look at the sparse, open character of the plains before more modern intensive agricultural or infrastructure shifts, focusing on the essential landmarks of water and energy points that sustained the local economy.
