1959 Map of Bolton

About this map

The petroleum landscape of southeast Kansas is clearly defined across Rutland and Independence townships, where extensive oil fields and numerous oil wells dot the prairie. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the settlement of Bolton and connecting this rural industrial zone to larger markets. Prominent landforms like Timber Hill, Bald Mound, and Walker Mound break the horizon, providing natural landmarks in a region increasingly shaped by human development.
