1974 Map of Wagon Bed Spring SE

About this map

Harmony and Moscow townships define the landscape of Stevens County in the mid-1970s, an area where the agricultural grid is deeply intertwined with the energy industry. The terrain is marked by a dense concentration of Gas Well and Oil Well symbols, reflecting the significance of the Hugoton Gas Area during this era. Industrial infrastructure is prominent throughout the map, including a major Pipeline corridor cutting diagonally across the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Transport and logistics are anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which runs parallel to the pipeline, serving as a vital link for the regional economy. Transitioning southward into West Center and Center, the map provides a clear view of the rural section lines and fence boundaries that organized Kansas prairie life decades ago.
