1965 Map of Dawson Butte

About this map

Dawson Butte and Hunt Mountain dominate this mid-century landscape south of Sedalia, where agricultural roots met emerging residential developments. The area's educational and social history is deeply rooted in sites like Oakland Sch, Lone Tree Sch, and Glen Grove Sch, while the Glen Grove Cem and Bear Canyon Ch mark long-standing community centers. To the east, the transportation corridor is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Denver and Rio Grande Western railroads running parallel to East Plum Creek. This survey captures the region just before significant suburban expansion, evidenced by the presence of Monte Vista Estates and Perry Park Ranch. Notable for sports history, the Continental Divide Raceway appears as a prominent landmark near Tomah, providing a clear location for the regional motorsports culture of the era.
