About this map

Ladder Creek and its tributary, South Fork Ladder Creek, cut prominent drainage patterns through the high plains of Western Kansas. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the level plateau of the Flats down into the eroded breaks of the creek beds. Human presence in the late 1960s is marked by a sparse network of section-line roads and scattered agricultural activity, centered around landmarks like West Bethany Ch. Industrial utility is visible through a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, providing local materials for infrastructure in a region where the vast topography of Harrison and Tribune townships meet. The map also captures several seasonal watercourses, including Chalk Creek, which drain toward the northeast, illustrating the subtle but critical hydrology that dictated settlement patterns in Wallace and Greeley counties.
