1966 Map of Bison

About this map

Bison stands as the central hub of this Rush County landscape, where the grain-hauling infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific railroad intersects with the agricultural plains. The 1966 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the clustered Baptist Cem and the Seventh Day Adventist Cem located along the rail line. Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by a series of north-south drainages including Shelter Creek and Duck Creek, which flow toward the more prominent Sand Creek in the south.
