1959 Map of Ulysses NE

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The High Plains of Southwest Kansas are defined here by a systematic grid of energy development and agricultural townships during the late 1950s. The landscape across Kendall, Sherman, and Lincoln is densely punctuated by a network of Gas Wells, illustrating the mid-century intensification of the Hugoton Natural Gas Area. Despite this industrial overlay, the infrastructure of rural community life remains visible, centered on the Pleasant Valley Sch and a Community Hall located near the border of Kearny and Grant counties. The natural topography is relatively subtle, marked primarily by the meandering path of Lakin Draw, which cuts across the central townships and provides the only significant break in the geometric section lines that organize the territory.
