1961 Map of Joshua

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, such as Old Bethany Cem, Old Lane Prairie Cem, and the Buchanan Cem located near a long-standing Pumping Sta. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits and various pipelines indicates the area's mid-century industrial utility, while landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the Radio Tower (KCLE) capture the cultural and technological character of the late 1950s and early 1960s before suburban expansion moved further into Johnson County.
