1965 Map of Gresham

About this map

Gresham serves as the primary hub of activity in this mid-1960s agricultural survey, situated along a prominent Railroad line. The surrounding landscape is defined by the township divisions of Hackberry, Stewart, and Thayer, showcasing a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure. The upper portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the Big Blue River, while the lower sections feature a dense network of farmstead wells. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial sites including Hoffer Cem in the west, Blue Ridge Cem in the north-central area, and Cedar Lawn Cem located on the outskirts of the main settlement. Community life is further evidenced by the Wayland Ch, standing as a landmark among the expansive fields near the Polk Co York Co boundary line.
