1953 Map of Freeman
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Freeman and the surrounding borderlands of the Missouri-Kansas line define this mid-century landscape. The area is heavily influenced by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which passes through the village of Lisle as it heads south. The rural character of the region is evident in the dense network of small local schools, including Glendale Sch, Dodge Point Sch, and Van Meter Sch, which once served the scattered farmsteads of the West Dolan and Coldwater districts. Waterways like Missouri Kansas Creek and Coldwater Creek carve through the terrain, while the local economy shows early signs of resource extraction with a marked Gas Well and several Gravel Pits. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for landmarks like Shiloh Chapel and the Freeman Cem.
