USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path across this central Kansas landscape, dividing the agricultural plains of Stafford and West Cooper townships. The map documents a rural economy driven by petroleum extraction, with numerous wells and an extensive Oil Field concentrated in the northern and western sections. Settlement is sparse, defined by essential community anchors like Prairie Chapel and several local burying grounds including Verning Cem, Leesburg Cem, and Prairie Chapel Cem.
