About this map

Carlton serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in central Kansas, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the rolling hills. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Holland Creek, West Holland Creek, and East Holland Creek, which converge to create a network of wooded riparian corridors across the townships of Wheatland, Jefferson, Holland, and Banner.

Genealogists can find several important landmarks for local research, including Fairview Cem in the north and Woodlawn Cem to the south. The map documents the mid-century infrastructure of the region, from the small settlement at McAllister to the Landing Strip near the town center. Industry is represented by a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, reflecting the local extraction economy of the mid-1960s.
