About this map

Gas Field operations define the landscape of eastern Hamilton County in the mid-1960s, evidenced by a network of pipelines cutting across the High Plains terrain. The area is divided into large surveying blocks including Richland, Bradshaw, Medway, and Liberty, reflecting the systematic agricultural and mineral organization of western Kansas. Aviation and communication infrastructure is present at the Lewis Airport and nearby Radio Towers, which stand alongside a Pumping Station in the eastern portion of the sheet. Natural drainage is dictated by seasonal watercourses such as Mattox Draw, Plum Creek, and Sand Creek, which carve subtle depressions into the otherwise steady elevation of the prairie. The map captures the region during a period of active resource extraction and infrastructure development, providing a clear record of land use before modern technological shifts altered the rural landscape.
