1972 Map of Glade SW

About this map

Bow Creek meanders eastward through the center of this landscape, forming the natural border between Phillips and Rooks counties in north-central Kansas. The area is defined by its rural civic and religious foundations, with the Plainview Cem and a nearby Townhall serving the scattered community of Plainview in the northern uplands. Further south, the Mt Pleasant Ch stands as a landmark near the township of Farmington. The terrain is categorized by distinct rural districts, including Rushville and Sugar Loaf, where the land is marked by small-scale resource extraction like a local Sandpit and a Well. This survey captures the region just after the early 1970s, documenting the enduring network of section roads and small local institutions that supported the agricultural economy of the high plains.
