1966 Map of Hanover SW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Little Blue River winds through the heart of Washington County, Kansas, defining the physical and social boundaries between the townships of Hanover, Charleston, and Logan. The landscape is a study in mid-century Midwestern agriculture and transit, where the Burlington Northern and Missouri Pacific railroad lines track alongside the winding waterways. Deeply rooted community life is visible in the placement of the Townhall and the small cemeteries that serve the surrounding farmsteads, including St Paul Cem and Mount James Cem. While the terrain is shaped by many tributaries like Mill Creek and Beaver Creek, industrial activity is localized at several Sandpit sites and a Quarry, marking areas of resource extraction near the riverbanks during this period of mid-1960s mapping.
