1955 Map of Fort Riley NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Fort Riley Military Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape across the boundaries of Riley County and Geary County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Wildcat Creek and Sevenmile Creek carve through the uplands. This map documents a period of active military use and rural transition, featuring multiple observation towers and established landmarks like Magic School and the Vinton School. Transportation through the area is anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad in the south and local routes such as Riley County Highway 1 and Vinton School Road. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for both Shanks and Vinton cemeteries, which sit near the edges of the military grounds.
