1965 Map of Kanona NW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Sappa Creek meanders through the southeastern corner of this Kansas landscape, defining the boundaries between Olive and Roosevelt townships. Surveyed in the mid-1960s as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, the area is characterized by a sparse, rural settlement pattern defined by local landmarks and agricultural activity. Small spiritual and communal anchors are scattered across the townships, including Sherman Chapel in Sherman and Prairie Chapel further south near Harlan. For genealogists and local historians, the Vallonia Cem serves as a vital point of interest near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map also documents the local resource economy, noting small industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and a Sandpit situated along the drainage of the creek, providing a clear record of the area's physical and cultural geography during this era of mid-century development.
