1961 Map of Drexel
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The border town of Drexel straddles the state line in the early 1960s, serving as a focal point for this agrarian region where Kansas City Southern tracks run parallel to the Kansas-Missouri boundary. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Morman Fork and Willow Branch, with timber-lined creeks carving through the agricultural townships of Coldwater and West Boone. This survey provides significant genealogical detail for the area, documenting the exact locations of rural burial grounds including Sharon Cem, Edgewood Cem, and West Point Cem. The map's inclusion of fine red dashed lines indicates field and fence lines visible from 1958 aerial photography, offering a precise look at the division of family farms and homesteads before modern consolidation changed the rural layout.
