1964 Map of Carlton

About this map

Carlton stands as the central hub of this mid-1960s Kansas landscape, situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad and a local Landing Strip. The map detail captures the rural character of the Dickinson County and Saline County border, where the land is organized into the townships of Wheatland, Jefferson, Holland, and Banner. The drainage patterns are dominated by the winding course of Holland Creek and its branches, including West Holland Creek and East Holland Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections. For those researching local families, the locations of Fairview Cem in the northeast and Woodlawn Cem to the west provide specific geographic anchors for genealogical study. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous springs like McAllister Creek further illustrate the intersection of local industry and the natural prairie environment.
