1967 Map of Fowler SW

About this map

Crooked Creek meanders through the northwest corner of this Meade County landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the High Plains. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain transitions from the relatively level agricultural fields in the north toward the more broken breaks of the southern townships. Historical interest centers on the Fowler Cemetery and the small McClane Lake, reflecting the essential relationship between water and settlement in this semi-arid region. Industrial activity is localized but present, including a long Pipeline corridor and several Gravel Pits that suggest local extraction for road building. The map clearly delineates the section lines and township boundaries of Fowler and Logan, providing a precise grid for property and genealogical research in this part of Kansas.
