1960 Map of Greenwich

About this map

The Greenwich settlement serves as the focal point of this Kansas prairie landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad intersects with local agricultural life. This 1960 revision reveals an economy shaped by both traditional farming and industrial extraction, evidenced by several Oil Field labels and a network of pipelines cutting across the terrain. The presence of the Old Indian Boundary provides a significant historical marker for researchers, delineating former territorial lines that predated the established township grids of Lincoln, Murdock, Payne, and Benton. Waterways like the Whitewater River and Prairie Creek define the drainage patterns, while scattered community landmarks such as Palmyra Ch and the Piper Airport illustrate the infrastructure of a mid-century rural community. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites for family research, including Cottonwood Cem, Old Benton Cem, and Fairview Cem.
