1960 Map of Arrington

About this map

Arrington and Larkinburg serve as the primary focal points of this northeastern Kansas landscape, situated at a junction where the boundaries of Jackson, Atchison, and Jefferson counties converge. The winding course of the Delaware River dictates the local geography, joined by smaller tributaries like Straight Creek and Catamount Creek. This era of the late 1950s captures a rural infrastructure defined by small-scale developments, including a Landing Field near Larkinburg and a Gravel Pit to the southeast. Genealogists will find particular value in the precise locations of the Miller Cem and Larkinburg Cem. The map also identifies smaller local place names such as Nebo and South Denison, providing a window into the settled rural townships of Kapioma, Garfield, and Delaware before later modernizations altered the regional footprint.
