USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the industrial spine for this portion of the Kansas plains, connecting the coal-mining and agricultural communities of Carbondale and Scranton. The landscape is heavily defined by its 1950s resource extraction and water management, evidenced by a Quarry west of town and a large Strip Mine to the east. Local history is deeply etched into the township lines, where small rural education centers like Towhead Sch and the Rubow Sch once anchored the farming population.
