1969 Map of Duluth

About this map

Duluth and the surrounding townships in Pottawatomie and Nemaha Counties are defined by a complex network of prairie streams and early transport corridors. The Union Pacific railroad cuts through the southern landscape, following the valley of Hise Creek and Mill Creek near the settlement of Duluth. This area showcases the transition from upland prairie to wooded creek bottoms, with numerous named waterways like French Creek, Mulberry Creek, and Mud Creek carving into the terrain. Genealogy researchers can locate several key community landmarks, including St Patricks Ch and its associated St Patricks Cem in the northeast, as well as the Onaga Cemetery, Home Cem, and Ragar Cem. The mapping of small locales like Neuchatel and Beckerville provides a detailed view of Kansas rural life before modern consolidation shifted the local population centers.
