1969 Map of Ensign SE

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this portion of Ford County, providing a stark historical demarcation through the townships of Concord and Wilburn. This 1969 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by agricultural section lines and the meandering path of Mulberry Creek in the north. The infrastructure of the late 1960s is evident through several pipelines crossing the territory and a localized Gaging Station. For genealogists and local historians, the Concord Cem stands as a primary landmark of the area's early settlement. The map also records mid-century communication technology, noted by a Radio Tower in the southeastern quadrant, reflecting the gradual modernization of this rural Kansas prairie.
