About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across this High Plains landscape, cutting through the townships of Garfield and Logan. This mid-1970s survey illustrates a region defined by its reliance on groundwater and surface resources, marked by numerous Well sites and Wells dispersed across the prairie. The presence of the Theoni Sch suggests a focal point for the rural community, serving families in the northern portion of the county near the Finney and Gray line.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Caliche Pits, where the calcium carbonate deposits were likely extracted for road surfacing. Natural water sources are few, with a localized Spring appearing in the north, providing a rare break in the arid terrain. The map captures the organized grid of section lines and early rural roads that facilitated agricultural development in this corner of Kansas.
