Great Eastern Ditch and Farmers Ditch cut across the flat Finney County landscape, revealing the critical role of irrigation in this western Kansas agricultural region during the early 1940s. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad provides the primary backbone for transportation, connecting small rural hubs like Tennis and Gillespie. These clusters of settlement are often centered around local rural schools, such as Pleasant View Sch and Roxana Sch, which served the scattered farmsteads of Terry and Sherlock townships.
