1973 Map of Stubbs

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across this prairie landscape just north of the border between Kansas and Oklahoma, marking a significant historical line through Barber County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Medicine Lodge River and its tributaries, including Little Mule Creek and Driftwood Creek. Along the southern edge of the survey, the small settlement of Stubbs sits near the Missouri Pacific railroad line, reflecting the importance of rail transport to these rural communities. Notable evidence of former infrastructure is visible in the north, where an Old Railroad Grade remains as a trace of earlier transit patterns. The map also documents the region's resource extraction, indicated by scattered gas and oil wells, particularly around Scott Canyon in the northern hills.
