About this map

The railroad community of Sitka serves as the focal point of this Clark County landscape, situated along the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The late 1970s terrain is defined by a sparse but active industrial footprint, where a wide-reaching Oil and Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells operate alongside traditional ranching and farming operations. To the northwest, the St Josephs and Highland Cem provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research, located near the Center boundary.

Water management in this arid region is traced through the winding paths of Spring Creek and Day Creek, which cut through the contour-rich topography. The presence of a Pumping Station and several pipelines underscores the importance of resource transport in this corner of Kansas. This survey also captures land-use details such as a Gravel Pit and a network of field lines, reflecting the intersection of natural drainage and human industry during this era.
