About this map

Auburn serves as the focal point of this 1952 topographic study, located at the confluence of the North Branch, Middle Branch, and South Branch of the Wakarusa River. The landscape is defined by its agrarian layout, featuring an extensive network of local schools such as Vidette Sch, Lone Tree Sch, and Independence Sch that supported the surrounding rural community.

A significant historical marker, the Old Potawatomi Reservation Boundary, traverses the northern portion of the map, illustrating the enduring legacy of 19th-century land divisions on the mid-20th-century landscape. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Auburn Cem and the various schoolhouses like Sixmile Sch and Pleasant Valley Sch which anchored the townships of Dover, Mission, and Williams Port during this era.
