About this map

The Neosho River meanders through the heart of this Allen County landscape, defining the industrial and civic development of Humboldt during the mid-1960s. The town's infrastructure is clearly visible, from the Waterworks and Sewage Disposal plants along the riverbank to the Athletic Field and Riverside Park. Educational and spiritual centers like St Joseph Sch and the High Sch serve as focal points for the community, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor facilitates the local economy.

Evidence of the region's diverse geology is found in the numerous Quarries, Claypit, and an extensive Oil Field to the south. Notable for genealogists is the high density of burial grounds, including DeWitt Cem, Mt Hope Cemetery, and Fussman Cem. A historical Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the lower portion of the sheet, marking a significant legal line through Cottage Grove and Salem townships.
