1955 Map of Clinton

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Wakarusa River and its major tributaries, including Deer Creek and Rock Creek, define the landscape of southwestern Douglas County during the mid-1950s. This survey captures a rural landscape organized around the townships of Kanwaka and Clinton, documented just as the modern Kansas Turnpike was appearing in the northeast corner of the quadrangle. The map is particularly rich in educational landmarks, showing several local schoolhouses that served the farming community, such as Yarnold Sch and the uniquely named Apple Pie Sch. Small settlements like Stull and Clinton are recorded alongside historic resting places like Mound Cem. This edition provides a detailed look at the pre-reservoir drainage patterns of the Wakarusa valley, reflecting the area's geography before significant hydrologic changes altered the valley floor.
