1978 Map of Tractor

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroad tracks dominate the northern reaches of this Scott County landscape, converging near the small settlement of Tractor. The terrain is defined by broad geographic depressions and basins, most notably the White Woman Basin which occupies the western portion of the sheet. This 1970s survey illustrates a rural Kansas environment where early 20th-century rail infrastructure remained vital alongside a growing energy sector. Scattered throughout the townships of Scott, Keystone, and Lake, numerous sites labeled Oil Well and Gas Well indicate the importance of subsurface resources to the local economy. The map provides a precise look at section lines, windmills, and wells that supported the high plains agricultural lifestyle of the era.
