1952 Map of Burlingame

About this map

The town of Burlingame serves as the focal point of this mid-century Osage County landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor defines the local transit and industrial layout. The surrounding territory is marked by a legacy of coal extraction, evidenced by several mine dumps and a mine shaft scattered to the east of the primary settlement. Local social hubs like the Fair Plain Grange Hall and Pleasant Valley Grange Hall reflect the region's agricultural roots, while the rural education system is represented by the Fountain Ridge Sch and Fostoria Sch. The natural drainage of the land is shaped by the Wakarusa R in the north and the winding course of Hundred and Ten Mile Creek, cutting through the undulating plains near Stenger Hill.
