1968 Map of Greenleaf

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors this late-1960s survey of eastern Washington County, tracing a path through the grain-growing uplands between the Little Blue River and Coon Creek. The town of Greenleaf stands as the primary hub, surrounded by a landscape dotted with the spiritual and ancestral markers of the community's early settlers. Numerous rural burial grounds, such as Maplewood Cem, St Boniface Cem, and Chepstow Cem, are scattered across the townships of Logan, Greenleaf, and Lincoln, providing essential data points for genealogists. The presence of Sacred Heart Ch and its accompanying Sacred Heart Cem highlights the enduring religious centers that shaped local identity in this part of the Kansas prairie. Further east, the small settlement of Barnes sits along the rail line, while the nearly vanished location of Malone remains marked near the northern boundary.
