1966 Map of John Redmond Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

John Redmond Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, representing a significant transformation of the Neosho River valley. The massive John Redmond Dam anchors the eastern side of the pool, while the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge preserves the wetlands at the reservoir's upper reaches. In the southeast, the town of Burlington sits at a historic crossroads where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad meets the river. Rural history is well-preserved through numerous family burial sites, including Bailey Cem and Baker Cem, which remain as markers of the earlier settlement patterns across Pleasant and Burlington townships. An Old Grade reflects an earlier transportation alignment that predates the modern infrastructure, offering a glimpse into the evolving land use around the Neosho valley before the flood control projects were completed.
