USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Verdigris River valley defines the central landscape of this Wilson County region, where the town of Altoona serves as a local hub. Surveyed just before the Second World War, the map captures an agrarian society organized around dozens of small rural school districts, such as Ninety Nine Sch, Sorghum Valley Sch, and Peach Grove Sch. The transport network is anchored by the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which connect established settlements like Buffalo, Benedict, and Roper.
