About this map

The High Plains landscape surrounding Sublette in the late 1960s is defined by a dense grid of gas wells and energy infrastructure. The town serves as a central hub for the region, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cuts through the prairie, supporting the local agricultural and industrial economy. Near the town center, the local High Sch and a Radio Tower stand as prominent landmarks of the mid-century community.

Beyond the residential core, the map reveals specialized facilities like the Sublette Flying Club Landing Strip and a Sewage Disposal site. The surrounding townships of Lockport and Morris are crisscrossed by an extensive network of Pipeline routes, illustrating the significance of the Hugoton Gas Area to the local geography. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from town life to the industrial operations of the Kansas plains before modern expansion.
