1978 Map of Stockton SE

About this map

The Oil Field operations of Rooks County dominate this central Kansas landscape, where numerous wells and access roads dot the sections south of the Stockton Municipal Airport. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Bow Creek and Robbers Roost Creek, which carve a network of draws and ridges through the high plains. This 1970s survey highlights the industrial footprint of the era, from the scattered Gravel Pit and Shale Pit excavations used for road maintenance to the more recreational presence of the County Country Club. The map provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure during a period of active resource extraction, showing the intersection of agriculture and energy in the township divisions.
