About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary bisects this Labette County landscape, marking a significant historical line through Elm Grove and Mount Pleasant. Centered on the town of Edna, the area is defined by a traditional Midwestern agricultural grid, punctuated by vital local institutions like Elm Ch, Ellis Sch, and the Edna Cem. Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent, including the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor and the Edna Municipal Airport.

Natural drainage is shaped by Hackberry Creek and Elm Creek, which provide the riparian habitat for a local Fish Hatchery. To the south, the Lake Creek Oil Field and the small settlement of Rhodes indicate the area's mix of resource extraction and rural residence. The survey details specific civic landmarks such as the Star Community Center and a Water Tank, offering a clear view of the community's physical layout in the mid-1970s.
