1963 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland Creek carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape in Dickinson County, illustrating the rural character of central Kansas in the early 1960s. The map reveals a network of small social and spiritual hubs, such as the Grace & Truth Gospel Chapel and Mt Pleasant Ch, which served the surrounding farming townships. While the settlement at Holland represents the primary named community, the presence of a Townhall and Community Hall indicates a structured civic life. Industrial activity is visible in the form of scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry, marking the extraction efforts that supplemented the regional economy. Family researchers will find value in the location of Green Lawn Cem and an additional Cem, providing specific touchpoints for local genealogy within the townships of Garfield and Wheatland.
