1963 Map of Abilene SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Turkey Creek meanders through the heart of this central Kansas landscape, its wooded banks cutting a winding path through the agricultural townships of Newbern, Logan, and Jefferson. The terrain is defined by a dense network of limestone extraction points, with numerous Quarries and small Quarry sites scattered along the creek bluffs, indicating the local importance of stone production. Social and spiritual life in the mid-20th century centered on dispersed rural landmarks such as New Basel Ch and Ebenezer Ch, while the Rural Center Sch served the educational needs of the surrounding farmsteads. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Farmington Cem and Belle Springs Cem, situated on the upland rises away from the West Branch drainage.
