1973 Map of Shaw Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Kenbro sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the Verdigris River and North Branch Verdigris River meet near the border of Lyon and Greenwood counties. The area is defined by its drainage systems, including the namesake Shaw Creek, Rock Creek, and Wolf Creek, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain. In the early 1970s, the local economy was marked by small-scale petroleum extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and pipelines across the rural landscape. Administrative boundaries for Bazaar, Center, Field, and Madison provide a framework for understanding historical land use and local governance in this part of Kansas. The map captures the intersection of three counties—Chase, Lyon, and Greenwood—at a time when the region remained largely dedicated to ranching and energy production.
