1966 Map of Garnett East

About this map

Pottawatomie Creek and its South Fork meander through this landscape in central Anderson County, shaping the settlement patterns of the mid-1960s. The city of Garnett serves as the regional anchor, featuring significant mid-century civic infrastructure like the Garnett Municipal Airport and recreational water bodies including Lake Garnett and Crystal Lake. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the township boundaries of Monroe and Putnam, connecting the larger town to smaller outlying communities like Scipio and Greeley.
