About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this Allen County landscape, marking a historical line of demarcation within the townships of Iola, Humboldt, Salem, and Cottage Grove. In the mid-1960s, this area was defined by a steady rural infrastructure of family-centric landmarks and energy extraction. Numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells are scattered across the terrain, interspersed with an extensive network of pipelines and localized oil fields.

Social centers for the farming community are clearly mapped, including the Zillah Sch, Jeddo Ch, and the Salem Cem. The drainage pattern is led by Coal Creek and Goose Creek, while the curiously named Vegetarian Cr flows near the southwestern border. Technological footprints of the era are visible at the Radio Tower Pumping Station, illustrating the mid-century industrial utility of the Kansas prairie.
