About this map

The rolling plains of northern Phillips County are defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems and a burgeoning energy sector during the early 1970s. The northern edge of the map captures the border between the Harlan Co Phillips Co line and the southern reaches of Harlan County Lake. Evidence of local industry is visible through numerous Oil Wells and a Quarry located near Crystal Creek.

Social centers for this rural farming landscape are marked by country churches, including Pleasant Ridge Ch in the northeast and Englewood Ch further south. The map provides a detailed view of the township divisions including Walnut, Glenwood, Freedom, and Greenwood. This 1973 survey details the network of creeks such as Walnut Field Creek and West Crow Creek that shaped the agricultural layout of the region.
