About this map

The small unincorporated community of Beeler sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, marking a vital junction between the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the winding course of South Fork Walnut Creek. This western Kansas landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the upland prairie plains and the intricate drainage networks of Walnut Creek, Darr Creek, and Spring Creek.

Evidence of local resource extraction is found in the scattered Gravel Pit and Silica Pit sites, while the broader terrain is organized into named blocks like Eden, Aldrich Field, and Johnson. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Beeler Cem just west of the townsite. The map meticulously documents the border between Lane County and Ness County, as well as the path of State Route 96, reflecting the infrastructure that supported this agricultural and industrial region during the mid-century.
