1962 Map of Jewell SW

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Browns Creek Prairie and the undulating plains of North Central Kansas are meticulously documented in this 1960s-era study. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Browns Creek and the southern Solomon Rapids area, where the terrain shifts toward the drainage of Mulberry Creek and Plum Creek. This map captures a rural agricultural society organized by the section line grid, punctuated by essential community institutions. Genealogists will find significant value in the location of several remote burial grounds, including Fairview Cem, Star Cem, and Glendale Cem, which served the surrounding farmsteads. The educational and spiritual life of the era is anchored by the Pleasant Plain Sch and the Mayview Ch, while several Gravel Pits suggest the local extractive industry used for road building across the Jewell and Mitchell County line.
