1967 Map of Giltner

About this map

Giltner sits at the southern edge of this late 1960s agricultural survey, anchored by the Chicago Burlington And Quincy railroad line. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of township boundaries including Phillips I L L I S, D E E P W E L L, and M O N R O E, where dozens of irrigation wells mark the shift toward intensive prairie farming. The central portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the modern 80 interstate corridor, which cuts across a terrain otherwise shaped by the meandering paths of Lincoln Creek and Beaver Creek. Local history is preserved in small rural burial grounds like St Josephs Cem and Lerton Cem, providing essential coordinates for genealogical research in this part of Hamilton county.
