1974 Map of Beeler SE

About this map

Manteno Community Hall stands as a focal point for the rural townships of Johnson and Franklin during the mid-1970s. This High Plains landscape is defined by the drainage of the South Fork and the deeply incised Guzzlers Gulch, which cut through the high western Kansas tablelands. The map reveals a transition toward more industrial land use, marked by several scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit positioned near the local waterways. The southern reaches of the survey cross the Ness Co Hodgeman Co boundary into Roscoe township, following the course of Plum Creek. This document preserves the location of a small Cem and the settlement at Monroe, providing a detailed view of the section-line road network and early energy development in the region.
