About this map

The town of Helena serves as the central hub of this Alfalfa County survey, situated at the junction of local rural life and state-level infrastructure. The landscape is marked by the presence of the St Louis-San Francisco railroad line, which passes through the community and the neighboring settlement of McWillie. Educational and civic life is anchored by the High Sch and the expansive grounds of the State School for Boys on the eastern edge of town.

Beyond the residential areas, the topography is defined by the North McWillie Valley and waterways like East Clay Creek and Turkey Creek. This mid-century view preserves the locations of vital community institutions, including the Prairie Valley Ch, Church of the Brethren, and the Rupert Cem. The map also documents the region's energy footprint, showing several Gas Well and Oil Well sites alongside a long-distance Pipeline cutting through the northern sections.
