1971 Map of Bushong

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor defines the southern landscape of this northern Lyon County region, connecting the small community of Bushong with the settlement at Comisky. This 1971 survey captures a quiet agricultural era where life centered around the rail line and the various creeks that drain the Kansas prairie. In the township of Agnes City, the local topography is shaped by Rock Creek, Bluff Creek, and Missouri Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the landscape. Genealogists can find important local landmarks such as Agnes City Cem and Comisky Cem, which serve as physical links to the families who settled this area. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundaries where Morris and Lyon Counties meet, as well as the border with Wabaunsee County to the north, showing the intersecting lines of rural administration.
