1957 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The James River meanders through the southwestern corner of this mid-century prairie landscape, creating a distinct topographical contrast to the surrounding tablelands of Clayton and Wittenberg townships. This 1957 field-checked survey reveals a rural society organized around a dense network of country schools, including Werning Sch, Highland Sch, and School No 52. The small settlement of Clayton serves as a central hub, flanked by the Clayton Cem and Rademacher Cem. Toward the south, the Congregational Ch stands near the headwaters of Wolf Creek, illustrating the dispersal of community life across the Hutchinson County plains. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits near the river bluffs suggests local aggregate extraction was a significant secondary activity to the dominant agricultural economy of the era.
