About this map

The High Plains landscape of western Kansas is documented here during a period of modern agricultural development, defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads and sparse prairie settlements. The small communities of Tennis and Gano serve as the primary hubs in this part of Finney County, with the local economy largely dependent on the surrounding farm and ranch land. Unusual for such a dry region, the presence of Corrigan Lake provides a notable hydrologic feature in the south-central portion of the map.

Transportation is dominated by a systematic network of county roads, including W Tennis Rd and W Gano Rd, which facilitate the movement of goods across the expansive terrain. To the north, Crist Airport reflects the importance of private aviation for oversight of these large land holdings. The map captures the specialized land use patterns of the early twenty-first century, showing how infrastructure like W Sondreagger Rd and N Chmelka Rd organizes the rural population.
