1973 Map of Shore Airport

About this map

Shore Airport stands as a central landmark in this southwestern Kansas landscape, situated near the boundary where Stanton and Richfield terrain meets. The area is defined by the winding course of Sand Arroyo Creek, which cuts through the high plains. By the early 1970s, the region's economy was heavily influenced by energy extraction, evidenced by the proliferation of Gas Wells and the occasional Oil Well scattered across the township sections. The map provides a look at the section-line road grid and the rural intersections of Big Bow, illustrating the precise surveying and land use patterns of the era. The transition across the Stanton Co Morton Co line at the southern edge highlights the administrative divisions in this agricultural and industrial corridor.
