1968 Map of Burr Oak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Webster and Jewell County borderlands at the Kansas-Nebraska state line define this agricultural landscape of the late 1960s. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainages including Oak Creek, Burr Oak Creek, and the White Rock Creek system to the south. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is an essential record of rural community landmarks, preserving the locations of Union Chapel and several family or community burial grounds such as Highland Cem, Providence Cem, and Oak Creek Cem. The sparse settlement pattern is anchored by the small community of Graves and the township divisions of Highland, Walnut, and White Mound. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the winding section-line roads to the established township boundaries just before the turn of the decade.
