About this map

Fort Riley Military Reservation dominates this Kansas landscape, showing the intersection of military land use and rural settlements in the early 1990s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Sevenmile Creek, Threemile Creek, and Honey Creek that carve through the hills. Small rural centers and landmarks like Magic and Vinton are visible, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing family locations near the Milford township boundary.

Evidence of early infrastructure and local history is preserved through labels like Governor Harvey Canyon Road and Vinton School Road. The presence of Shanks Cem and Vinton Cem offers specific points of interest for researchers, while the numerous Quarries scattered throughout the reservation area indicate local industrial activity during this period. The map effectively captures the transition from civil township lands to restricted military grounds.
