1969 Map of Cawker City NW

About this map

Dentonia serves as a central landmark in this 1960s study of Jewell County, Kansas, where the landscape is defined by the intricate dendritic drainage patterns of the Limestone Creek system. The map captures a primarily agricultural region organized into civil townships including Esbon, Odessa, and Ionia. Water management and natural topography are evident through the paths of Porcupine Creek and West Limestone Creek, which carve deep, branching valleys into the upland plains. Evidence of early community infrastructure is preserved through the locations of Odessa Ch and Mt Carmel Cem. Several quarry sites are noted across the terrain, indicating local resource extraction amid the section-line roads that dominate the rural grid.
