1955 Map of Clinton

About this map

Stull and Clinton anchor this mid-century view of the Douglas County countryside, where the winding Wakarusa River defines the southern landscape. The map captures a moment of transition for the region, showing the modern path of the Kansas Turnpike cutting through the northern corner while rural life remains centered around established community hubs. Local education and memory are preserved in the locations of Deer Creek Sch, Yarnold Sch, and Belvoir Sch, alongside the prominent Mound Cem and Clinton Cem. The drainage patterns of Deer Creek, Dry Creek, and Coon Creek illustrate the natural topography before the construction of major local reservoirs. These agricultural lands, divided by the townships of Kanwaka and Clinton, reflect the enduring settlement patterns of eastern Kansas just prior to significant suburban expansion.
