1957 Map of Brookville SW

About this map

Mulberry Creek and its many tributaries, including Table Rock Creek and Elm Creek, define the drainage patterns across this central Kansas landscape in the late 1950s. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are anchored by the small community infrastructure of Mulberry Sch and Mulberry Cem, which served the rural population before the mid-century shift toward larger town centers. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Smoky Hill Air Force Range, indicating the significant military presence in the region during the Cold War era. Transportation and logistics are highlighted by the Union Pacific rail line running through the southeast corner near the settlement of Arcola, while the distinctive landmark of Buzzard Roost stands out along the southern boundary. The survey also captures the intersections of several townships, including Madison, Mulberry, and Spring Creek.
