1974 Map of Shore Airport SE

About this map

The Old Santa Fe Trail cuts diagonally across this high plains landscape, marking a historic corridor of western movement that predates the modern section-line roads. Situated along the border of Morton and Stevens Counties, the area is defined by the winding paths of the Cimarron River and its North Fork. The map documents a mid-1970s landscape where early agricultural foundations meet an expanding energy economy. Local history is anchored by the presence of Dermot School and the Dermot Cemetery, preserving the name of a community hub in Richfield and Harmony townships. The map also records the proliferation of energy extraction, with numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well scattered across the prairie, alongside a modest Landing Strip serving the remote region.
