1961 Map of Everest

About this map

Everest sits at the heart of this northeast Kansas landscape, serving as a primary junction where the Missouri Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads intersect. The town's grid is surrounded by a network of rural townships including Mission, Washington, and Grasshopper, reflecting the organized agricultural development of the early 1960s. To the south, the village of Kennekuk and the nearby Kennekuk Cem mark an area of historical settlement along the Clear Creek drainage.
