1970 Map of Selkirk SE

About this map

The High Plains of western Kansas are defined here by a vast grid of section lines and township boundaries where four counties—Greeley, Wichita, Hamilton, and Kearny—converge. Surveyed in 1970, the landscape is organized into distinct townships including Harrison, Whitewoman, Richland, and West Hibbard. The economy of the era is evident in the infrastructure of resource extraction and water management, notably with a Pipeline cutting across the southern terrain and several Oil Wells positioned near the county borders. A small Cem and a Spillway Elev 3429 offer specific points of interest for local historians, reflecting the sparse but deliberate human footprint in this semi-arid region during the late 20th century.
