About this map

The Cimarron River carves a sweeping arc through the heart of this Logan County landscape, joined from the west by Skeleton Creek and Cottonwood Creek. To the south, the northern portion of Guthrie is highly detailed, showing civic landmarks like the Masonic Temple, Courthouse, and Library, alongside neighborhood institutions such as Cotteral Sch and St Marys. This urban footprint contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and industrial areas, where numerous sandpits dot the riverbanks and an Oil Well appears near the western boundary.

Transportation networks define the region's development, particularly the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad following the river valley and the presence of an Old Grade in the northeast. Rural life is anchored by small community centers like Lawrie and specialized sites including Camp Joy and Camp Russell. Genealogists can find significant local records through the prominent Summit View Cemetery, Lawrie Cem, and several rural churches including Abell Ch and Pilgrim Rest Ch.
