1955 Map of Globe

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Marion and Clinton townships of Douglas County appear here as a landscape defined by traditional rural institutions and water drainage patterns in the mid-20th century. The settlement of Globe sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the sheet, while the northeastern quadrant is dominated by the finger-like inlets of Lone Star Lake. This man-made reservoir is fed by Washington Creek, a contrast to the natural winding course of Rock Creek to the west. Local history is deeply embedded in the distribution of community landmarks, particularly the numerous country schools like Weybright Sch, Baldwin Sch, and Centennial Sch that served these farming districts. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including Twin Mounds Cem and the Dodder Cem, along with houses of worship like St Francis Ch and Bethel Chapel, offers a clear view of the social geography that once anchored these Kansas townships.
