1961 Map of Easton SW

About this map

Alexandria and Union townships define the southeastern landscape of Jefferson County in the early 1960s. This survey illustrates a rural Kansas environment heavily influenced by a network of drainage basins, where Hulls Creek and Walnut Creek carve through the terrain. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it documents specific community centers such as Hebron Ch and Edmonds Ch, along with numerous family and community burial sites. Small tributaries like Buttermilk Creek and Dawson Creek underscore the agricultural nature of the region, where roads often follow the section lines or the natural contours of the winding creek beds. The boundary line between Jefferson Co Leavenworth Co is clearly delineated, marking the edge of these interconnected farming communities.
