About this map

Greeley anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the confluence of the natural environment and local industry is evident through numerous Oil Wells and a local Quarry. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Middle Creek and Landers Creek, which cut through the townships of Walker, Liberty, and Union. This 1966 field-checked survey reveals a rural infrastructure centered on established family and community landmarks, including the Wait Cem and Sutton Valley Cem.

The border between Anderson Co and Linn Co runs vertically through the center of the sheet, marking a political boundary that separates the small settlement of Goodrich from the western townships. The concentration of residential and agricultural structures along the section lines reflects the mid-century rural development pattern typical of this part of eastern Kansas, providing a clear record for genealogists tracking family lands in Centerville or Lincoln townships.
