1970 Map of St. Theresa Church

About this map

The high plains of western Kansas are defined by the convergence of the Tribune and Leoti townships along the border of Greeley and Wichita counties. This 1970 survey captures a vast agricultural landscape punctuated by the drainage of Ladder Cr in the northeast and the seasonal flow of Beaver Creek. The presence of St Theresa Ch and a nearby Cem suggests a localized community hub within the broader township grids, serving the dispersed farming families of the region. Numerous irrigation or livestock Wells are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the critical importance of groundwater management in this semi-arid portion of the Kansas plains. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the township and range system, where section lines dictate the movement across the prairie.
