About this map

The Saline River winds across the northern edge of this Kansas landscape, defining a terrain shaped by its many tributaries. The area sits at the intersection of Lincoln, Ottawa, and Saline Counties, characterized by the prominent landform of Table Rock and the drainage of Table Rock Creek. Transportation infrastructure is dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern sections near the community of Glendale.

Smaller settlements and local landmarks provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The village of Juniata sits centrally located near the rail line, while the Monroe Cem is found in the northern hills of the Colorado township division. The map reflects a rural economy transitioning in the early 1960s, documented by a mix of established sites and late-1970s revisions including a labeled Pit, indicating localized extraction or industry.
