About this map

Emmett stands as a central hub in this mid-1960s landscape, positioned where the Union Pacific railroad corridor meets the winding path of Cross Creek. The map documents a predominantly agrarian environment across northern Pottawatomie County, characterized by a detailed network of section lines and township divisions including St Clere, Adrian, and Washington. Local community life is anchored by several rural landmarks, such as the St Clere Ch and Mt Olive Ch, alongside the St Clere Cem and Holy Cross Cem.

The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally well-defined, showing how Bartlett Creek, Bourbonais Creek, and Little Cross Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of several Gravel Pits and a Quarry near the northern boundary. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians are the small clusters of development at Aikins and the village of St Clere, providing a precise record of these settlements before later decades of change.
