1964 Map of Barnard

About this map

Barnard serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s Kansas landscape, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad crosses the winding path of Salt Creek. The town's local infrastructure is visible in detail, including the nearby Sewage Disposal Ponds, while the surrounding rural landscape is divided into townships like Scott and Beaver. This area is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Rattlesnake Creek, Fifth Creek, and Prosser Creek, which carve through the terrain and dictate the placement of early infrastructure. The map is a valuable resource for genealogical research, documenting several local burial grounds such as Milo Cem to the east and Union Valley Cem to the west. Evidence of local industry and resource extraction is scattered throughout the countryside, marked by numerous Gravel Pits, a Sandpit, and several Quarries.
