1971 Map of Alden SE

About this map

Huntsville serves as the primary node of this rural landscape in central Kansas, positioned along the border of Huntsville and Hayes townships. The area is characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads and the meandering courses of Peace Creek and Salt Creek. Local history is anchored by the Huntsville Cem and Pleasant View Cem, along with a centralized Townhall and the Sterling Ch. The landscape reveals an active extraction economy, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the grid, particularly concentrated in the southern half of the map. This 1971 survey shows the region's agricultural layout just before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of individual rural homesteads and local civic landmarks.
