1953 Map of Freeman

About this map

Freeman and Lisle anchor this mid-century look at the borderlands between Cass County, Missouri, and Miami County, Kansas. The Kansas City Southern railroad serves as a primary north-south artery, threading through the landscape alongside drainage systems like Coldwater Creek and Horless Creek. The map reveals a highly organized rural society defined by its local institutions, with numerous schoolhouses such as Glendale Sch and Calvert Sch distributed to serve the farming families of West Dolan and Dolan townships.
