About this map

Grenola serves as the central hub of this early 1960s survey, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Caney River and its numerous tributaries, including Wolf Creek, Spring Creek, and East Caney Creek. This drainage network carves through the undulating plains, with the map recording the local topography through township divisions such as Greenfield, Wild Cat, and Caneyville.

Evidence of local industry is scattered across the township, marked by several oil wells and gas wells that indicate the energy extraction of the era. Cultural landmarks important for genealogical research include the Bethel Chapel and two burial grounds, Green Lawn Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem. The map also captures the transition between Elk County and Chautauqua County, documenting the rural road network and small-scale infrastructure like the local Landing Strip.
