1972 Map of Kansas
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Illinois River flows through the southeastern corner of this Ozark foothills landscape, a region defined by the convergence of Delaware, Cherokee, and Adair counties in the early 1970s. The settlement of Kansas serves as a local hub, while smaller communities like Twin Oaks and Oaks are established along the valley floors. The map reveals a rural social infrastructure centered on small country churches, including Mountain View Ch and the Walnut Grove Mission. Significant water features like Spring Creek and Saline Creek cut through the terrain, leading toward several distinct hollows such as Fivemile Hollow and Winset Hollow. Genealogists may find value in the location of Russell Cem and Oaks Cem, while the presence of an abandoned fish hatchery near Oaks and a Quarry near Cloud Creek point to shifting local land use and industry.
