1961 Map of Caney

About this map

Caney serves as the primary hub of activity in this southern Montgomery County landscape, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor intersects the local road network. The town's mid-century infrastructure is remarkably detailed, including the High Sch, a Hospital, and the nearby Sunny Side Cem. A notable historical artifact, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the terrain just south of Caney Creek, marking a significant cartographic remnant of earlier land divisions. To the north, the smaller settlement of Havana sits near Havana Lake and an Old Railroad Grade, while the industrial character of the era is evidenced by a Tank Farm (Abandoned) and various extraction sites like a Shale Pit and Quarry. The drainage of the Little Caney River and its many tributaries, such as Bee Creek and Coon Creek, defines the agricultural and topographical layout of the quadrangle.
