About this map

Pleasant Valley defines the topography of this western Kansas landscape, where the prairie is meticulously sectioned for resource extraction. During the mid-1970s, this portion of Finney County became a grid of energy production, as evidenced by the proliferation of the Gas Well and smaller Well sites scattered across nearly every square mile. The natural drainage of the valley is punctuated by numerous small depressions and basins, a characteristic geological feature of the High Plains. This survey provides a precise record of the infrastructure required to tap into the underlying natural gas reserves, showing the placement of access roads and individual wellheads during a period of significant regional industrial development.
