1966 Map of Kincaid

About this map

Kincaid stands as a central rail hub in the mid-1960s, defined by its position along the Missouri - Kansas - Texas Railroad. This landscape on the border of Anderson and Allen counties shows a transition from structured town grids to the winding riparian corridors of the Little Osage River and Deer Creek. The map documents a rural economy supported by energy extraction, evidenced by several Oil Wells and a Gas Well, while the community of Mildred is anchored by its proximity to Mildred Lake and a local Landing Strip. Local genealogy is well-preserved through detailed markers for the Kincaid Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Lone Elm Cem. The presence of the Fairview Chapel further south suggests the dispersed nature of country congregations during this era, while the numerous quarries along the rail lines highlight the area's industrial foundations.
