1974 Map of West of Eminence Cemetery

About this map

Pleasant Valley defines the topography of this western Kansas landscape, where the wide plains of Garfield meet a complex network of resource extraction. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map reveals a shift from traditional prairie land-use toward an intensive focus on subsurface wealth. The terrain is marked by numerous industrial sites, including several Well and Gas Well locations, alongside a specific Drill Hole and a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary. Hydrology is sparse but significant, notably highlighted by the presence of Springs in the southeastern quadrant. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of rural land management and energy development in Finney County during an era of expanding domestic production.
