1963 Map of Juniata

About this map

Juniata sits along the southern bank of Table Rock Creek, a primary drainage through this central Kansas landscape where the Saline River meanders across the northern border. Published in 1964, the map reveals a rural transition zone defined by the convergence of Lincoln, Ottawa, and Saline counties. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cuts a straight path across the terrain, passing through the small community of Glendale. Genealogists may find the isolated Monroe Cem of particular interest, located near the headwaters of Owl Creek. The map documents the intricate network of watercourses including Rock Creek and Mulberry Creek, which shaped the early agricultural settlement patterns and land divisions of Colorado, Morton, and Madison townships.
