1961 Map of Gordon

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The confluence of the Walnut River and Little Walnut River anchors this landscape in Butler County, where agricultural patterns are punctuated by small rural settlements and scattered family history markers. Near the town of Gordon, the Santa Fe and Topeka Atchison line parallels the river, illustrating the vital rail-and-water transport corridor that shaped this region. Rural life in the mid-20th century is well-documented through landmarks like Cumberland Ch and the neighboring Little Walnut Cem, alongside more isolated outposts such as Smileyberg and Bloomington. The inclusion of a U S Military Reservation in the southern portion and various Gravel Pits adds industrial and institutional layers to the predominantly township-based topography, which remains divided among the Augusta, Walnut, and Bloomington districts.
