1978 Map of St. Francis 3 SE

About this map

Little Beaver Creek carves a distinct, winding path across the northern reaches of this high plains landscape, defining the topography of a region divided by the Cheyenne Co Sherman Co line. In the late 1970s, this area of Northwest Kansas was primarily organized into large administrative townships including Benkelman, Wano, Voltaire, and Grant. The map reveals a rural economy dependent on subterranean resources, evidenced by the numerous wells scattered across the grid and a specific Sandpit located near the creek bed. The stark geometry of the section lines contrasts with the complex drainage patterns of the creek, illustrating the intersection of late-20th-century land management and the natural hydrology of the plains.
