1961 Map of El Dorado NW

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through this central Kansas landscape, connecting the small settlement of Hopkins to the northern edge of El Dorado. Situated within Fairview and Plum Grove townships, the area is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Diamond Creek, Fourmile Creek, and Rock Creek. These streams create a branched drainage pattern that likely dictated the early agricultural development and road placement in this section of Butler County. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Baker Cem and several Oil Wells that speak to the region's energy economy during the mid-century. Further north, the terrain transitions into Lincoln and Clifford townships, where Whitewater Creek meanders near the map's western boundary.
