About this map

The railroad community of Burlingame serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the Osage County landscape. Situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, the town's position is reinforced by the surrounding agricultural and industrial features. Multiple Mine Dumps and a Mine Shaft located east of town point to the area's history of coal extraction, while the presence of the Fair Plain Grange Hall and Pleasant Valley Grange Hall underscore the importance of local farming organizations during this era.

Waterways like the Wakarusa River and Hundred and Ten Mile Creek cut through the terrain, with the latter winding through the northeast. Rural education is well-represented by scattered landmarks such as Fountain Ridge Sch and Supple Sch. The map also captures the small settlement of Fostoria and its associated Fostoria Sch, providing a detailed look at the township boundaries between Burlingame, Scranton, and Auburn.
