About this map

Salt Creek and its many tributaries, including Leban Creek and Little Salt Creek, define the drainage patterns of this central Kansas landscape. The terrain is organized into distinct rural townships including Center, Bloomfield, and Round Springs. This 1960s survey documents a sparse but established agricultural community where social life centers on institutions like Pleasant View Ch and the Elmira Cem.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous extraction sites, with several Quarries and Gravel Pits clustered primarily along the creek banks. These small-scale operations, along with labeled bridges such as BR 1413, trace the development of the local road network and the 1960s rural economy. The map provides a precise look at the section lines and field boundaries that shaped Mitchell County during this era.
