About this map

Greeley sits at the northwestern corner of this Anderson County landscape, where the local economy in the mid-1960s is defined by a mix of agricultural land and early industrial extraction. Small clusters of Oil Wells and a Quarry indicate the area's resource-based activity, while the rural interior is organized by established townships including Walker, Liberty, and Union. The terrain is drained by the winding paths of Middle Creek and Landers Creek, with the Wait Dam and Sutton Valley Cem serving as significant local landmarks for genealogists and local historians. This survey, updated with 1980s revisions, illustrates a transition between traditional farming and modern infrastructure along the Anderson and Linn County line, capturing the spatial layout of rural Kansas before significant 20th-century consolidation.
