1966 Map of Garnett East

About this map

Pottawatomie Creek and its South Fork meander across this portion of Anderson County, defining the landscape of central eastern Kansas during the mid-1960s. The regional hub of Garnett sits at a major crossroads of both rail and road, where the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines converge near the town center. Local recreation and infrastructure are prominent, with Lake Garnett and Crystal Lake situated on the western outskirts near the Garnett Cemetery. Rural life is centered around small settlements like Greeley and Scipio, and traditional community landmarks such as Judy Sch and the St John Cem. Evidence of the area's resource economy appears through scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry located north of the city.
