About this map

Humboldt serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s Allen County landscape, situated along a prominent bend of the Neosho River. The settlement's infrastructure is detailed through its municipal and social landmarks, including Cagnon Park, Riverside Park, and several local schools such as the High School and St Joseph School. The town's industrial and agricultural character is defined by the surrounding Oil Field, numerous Quarries, and the Missouri - Kansas - Texas and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridors that converge here.

Historical boundaries are a significant feature of this sheet, specifically the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and Treaty Boundary that cross the southern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map identifies a high density of small burial grounds, including the DeWitt Cemetery, Fussman Cemetery, and St Peters Cemetery, providing precise locations for family history research in a landscape drained by Owl Creek and Vegetarian Creek.
