About this map

North Fork Walnut Creek and Middle Fork Walnut Creek converge in this western Kansas landscape, which reflects a mid-1970s balance between traditional ranching and the encroaching industrial footprint of the energy sector. Evidence of resource extraction is visible throughout the terrain, including numerous Oil Wells and a designated Oil Field, often connected by a major Pipeline that traverses the central plains. Smaller-scale industrial activity is marked by scattered Caliche Pits and Sandpits, likely used for local road maintenance and construction.
