1964 Map of Clay Center NE

About this map

Clay Center serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s Kansas landscape, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into the structured agricultural sections of Garfield and Goshen townships. The map records a critical period of infrastructure, showing the Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally through the terrain toward the settlement of Green. Local civic life is anchored by institutions like McKinley Sch and the High Sch, while the area's rural character is defined by family and community landmarks such as Hayes Ch and the Hayes Cem. Small waterways, including Spring Creek and Finney Creek, provide the natural drainage for the surrounding fields. The inclusion of Wood Airpark on the northern edge of the city highlights the mid-century evolution of local transportation alongside established landmarks like Dexter Park and the municipal Po.
