1951 Map of Grantville

About this map

Grantville and Tecumseh occupy opposing banks of the Kansas River in this mid-century portrait of eastern Kansas. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the river and the complex drainage of tributaries like Muddy Creek, Little Muddy Creek, and Stinson Creek. The area’s industrial and civic infrastructure is prominently displayed, featuring the Topeka Municipal Airport and a large Power Plant near the riverbanks. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural education sites including Millikin Sch and Decker Sch, alongside multiple cemeteries like Bethel Cem.
