1942 Map of Dederick
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The agrarian community of Dederick anchors this pre-war landscape in Vernon County, where the Kansas Texas and Missouri railroads converge. This era of rural education is remarkably preserved, showing an extensive network of schoolhouses including Mobley Sch, Badger Sch, Green Springs Sch, and Willow Grove Sch. The topography reveals a land defined by its drainages, with Clear Creek and the West Fork carving through the countryside. Evidence of local industry and community life appears in the Culbertson Mine and several rural cemeteries like Stepp Cem and Sandstone Cem. State Geologist H. A. Buehler oversaw this 1939 survey, which provides a precise record of farmsteads and township boundaries across Handley Prairie and into Montevallo.
