About this map

The Neosho River meanders through this mid-century landscape, defining the character of both the terrain and the local economy. At the heart of the sheet lies Chanute, a growing rail hub at the intersection of the Missouri Kansas and Texas and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The presence of a massive Oil Field and numerous scattered oil wells suggests an era of intensive resource extraction, while the dense network of rural schools like Prairie Queen Sch and Leanna Sch points to a vibrant, populated countryside.
