1956 Map of Carrollton West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Carrollton sits at the northeastern corner of this agricultural landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Wabash railroads create a transportation hub at WB Junction. The terrain is shaped by the meandering courses of Wakenda Creek and Moss Creek, with the lower southern reaches defined by an extensive drainage network including Sugartree Ditch and the Old Channel. This 1956 survey, later updated with aerial photography, documents a region of small rural settlements like Sugartree and Palemon. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Oak Hill Cem and Austin Cem, alongside religious centers like Sacred Heart Ch and Gilead Ch. The presence of the Carrollton Municipal Landing Strip and various named sloughs and branches, such as Booker Slough and McGill Creek, underscores the dual reliance on rail transport and water management in Carroll County.
