About this map

Ashland serves as the focal point of this Clark County survey, showing the town's layout just as the 1970s began. The landscape is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cutting through the prairie, supporting the region's cattle and grain transport. Local industry is visible through the Ashland Oil Field and various resources like a Sandpit and Gravel Pit.

Waterways like Little Sandy Creek and Redhole Creek carve through the terrain, leading toward the prominent elevation of Mount Casino. Cultural markers of the era include the Fairground, Krier Airport, and the Ashland Country Club. Smaller details, such as a solitary Grave and the Roadside Park, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical evolution of the township.
