About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices across this portion of south-central Kansas, marking a significant historical line of demarcation between Barber County and Pratt County. This landscape is defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems, including Turkey Creek, Mulberry Creek, and the West Branch and East Branch which feed into Macadoo Dam. The drainage patterns suggest a terrain of varied elevations where water management was central to local land use. Industrial activity is evident through scattered Oil Wells, a larger Oil Field to the north, and a centralized Pipeline network. The map records the early 1970s character of these townships, showing a rural economy anchored by energy extraction and agriculture, with minor landmarks like the Gravel Pit and numerous small creek crossings providing a detailed look at the local infrastructure before modern developments.
