About this map

The growing town of Edmond serves as a central hub in this survey, situated at the intersection of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and local roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Canadian River and the Deep Fork, where small settlements like Arcadia and Jones are established along the Missouri Kansas Texas and St Louis San Francisco rail lines.

A dense network of rural infrastructure supports the agricultural community, including numerous local education sites such as Prairie Dell Sch, Oakdale Sch, and Douglas Sch. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem and Spigner Cem. The presence of an Airway Beacon near Waterloo and the sprawling Lincoln Park to the south reflect the region's early mid-century development and modernization.
