1972 Map of Glade SE

About this map

Bow Creek meanders through the central portion of this 1970s landscape, marking the natural boundary between Phillips Co and Rooks Co. The map captures the rural agricultural structure of North Central Kansas, organized by the historical townships of Rushville, Farmington, and Lanark. Local civic life is anchored by a centrally located Townhall near the creek's edge, while the presence of Gravel Pits and an Oil Well suggest the modest industrial extraction occurring alongside traditional farming. Family researchers will find the locations of Lockwood Cem and Bow Creek Cem particularly valuable for grounding local genealogy. The transition from upland plains to the creek valley is detailed through fine contour intervals, showing the drainage patterns of Bortin Creek and the installation of a Gaging Station used for monitoring the watershed.
