1959 Map of Ulysses NW

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Kearny Co and Grant Co meet in this 1959 survey of southwestern Kansas, revealing an arid landscape undergoing significant industrial change. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bear Creek and its tributary, Wolf Creek, which cut across the high plains of Sherman and Lincoln townships. Scattered throughout these sections are numerous instances of a Gas Well, signaling the expansion of energy extraction in the Hugoton Gas Area during the mid-20th century. While industrial development is prominent, local history remains anchored at the Shockey Cem, a notable landmark for genealogists and those tracing the early settlement of this region. The map captures the transition from traditional ranching and farming towards a landscape increasingly dominated by oil and gas infrastructure.
