About this map

Pottawatomie Creek and Cedar Creek dominate this central Kansas landscape, winding through a region defined by agricultural history and early transport routes. The western edge of Garnett is visible, showing the local Hospital and the Missouri Pacific railroad line. Farther west, the small settlement of Glenlock sits along an Old Railroad Grade, providing a clear look at the changing rail infrastructure of the mid-20th century.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds across the townships of Putnam, Reeder, Jackson, and Washington, including the Amish Cem, West Scipio Cem, Pleasantville Cem, and Baptist Cem. The map also documents the extraction economy of the area, noting several Gravel Pits, Quarries, and an Oil Field with numerous active Oil Wells scattered across the southern sections.
