About this map

Shattuck serves as the focal point of this Ellis County survey, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor dictates the regional orientation. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Wolf Creek, Ivanhoe Creek, and Six Pony Creek, which carve through the plains. The map captures a mid-century community infrastructure featuring the Shattuck Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and the local Faith Ch.

Industrial activity is evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and several Caliche Pits scattered across the townships of Athens, Ivanhoe, and Oliver. Near the small settlement of Touzalin, the terrain transitions toward the state border, marked by the distinctive Flat Top elevation. This record is particularly valuable for its depiction of local water management, noting Sewage Disposal Ponds and the municipal Waterworks alongside the natural drainage patterns of Mammoth Cr and Long Creek.
