About this map

Fleming serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1960s Logan County landscape, centered on a grid that includes the Fleming Cem and an Athletic Field. The town’s position is defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which runs straight across the prairie toward the southeast. This corridor represents the vital grain-shipping and transport link for the region, where infrastructure like a Substation, Water Tank, and Sewage Disposal facility mark the progress of the local municipality.

Away from the rail line, the topography is shaped by the winding paths of Wildhorse Creek and the North Fork Frenchman Creek. These drainage networks cut through the High Plains, interspersed with several Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit sites that suggest local road-building or maintenance. Small outposts like Vanden hint at the dispersed nature of settlements in this agricultural territory during the mid-century era.
