About this map

The Washita River valley serves as the anchor for this mid-century survey of Custer County, where the city of Clinton has emerged as a major regional hub. The landscape is defined by a dense network of transit and local infrastructure, including the Clinton Airport and a meeting point of three major rail lines: the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the St Louis and San Francisco, and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific.

Rural life is meticulously documented through landmarks such as the Bellview Community Hall and several country houses of worship, including the Brethren in Christ Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, locating numerous burial grounds like Mound Valley Cem and Masonic Cem, alongside small educational sites such as the Red Rock Sch (Abandoned) and Custer City High Sch. Settled areas like Arapaho and Thomas appear connected by a complex grid of roads and creeks including Barnitz Creek and Deer Creek.
