1955 Map of Fort Riley NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Fort Riley Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the rolling uplands are dissected by numerous drainage systems. Flowing through the terrain are watercourses like Little Arkansas Creek, Sevenmile Creek, and Threemile Creek, which define the topography between the townships of Madison and Ogden. The map reveals a transition from the structured military training grounds to the surrounding rural sections of Riley and Geary Counties. Local infrastructure is anchored by institutions such as Magic School and the Vinton School, reflecting the educational needs of the area's farming families. Transport is facilitated by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and early thoroughfares like Governor Harvey Road. For genealogists, the inclusion of Shanks Cem and Vinton Cem provides essential locations for tracing family roots in this specific Kansas corridor during the 1950s.
