About this map

The railroad junction at Anthony serves as the focal point of this Harper County survey, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific lines converge. This 1970s landscape reveals a well-developed civic infrastructure, featuring a concentrated residential grid dotted with local institutions like Lincoln School, Washington School, and the Washington Annex. To the north, the Anthony Municipal Lake and Park provides a major geographic landmark, surrounded by evidence of mid-century leisure and utility, including a Drive-in Theater and a Country Club.

Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by the drainage of Bluff Creek and Rush Creek, with the section lines reflecting a late-twentieth-century agricultural pattern. Local family history and genealogical researchers can locate specific sites such as Spring Grove Cemetery and Forest Park Cemetery, along with more remote landmarks like Chaparral High School situated near the northern boundary.
