1964 Map of Beloit SE

About this map

Saltville sits at the intersection of several local drainage systems in rural Mitchell County, reflecting the agricultural and topographical character of the mid-1960s Kansas plains. The landscape is defined by the wandering paths of Fourth Creek, Fifth Creek, and West Branch Third Creek, which carve deep contours into the upland sections of Bloomfield, Logan, Salt Creek, and Eureka townships. This 1964 survey captures the community infrastructure of the era, from the educational center at Laban Sch to spiritual and commemorative sites like Green Mound Ch, New Hope Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The prevalence of various Quarry sites and larger Quarries distributed across the ridges suggests a localized extractive industry that utilized the region's natural stone outcrops alongside its traditional farming economy.
