1966 Map of La Crosse
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
La Crosse functions as the central hub of this Rush County landscape in the mid-1960s, defined by the steady transit of the Missouri Pacific railroad slicing through the town's grid. The community's social and recreational life is anchored by Grass Park, the County Fairground, and a Drive-In Theater located south of the main settlement. The surrounding terrain is organized into distinct sections like Brookdale and Big Timber, where the dry beds of Sand Creek meander through an agricultural expanse marked by limestone quarries. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including St Michaels Cem, La Crosse Cem, and the more remote Friends Cem to the northwest. This survey also records localized infrastructure such as the Hoover Landing Field and a dedicated Sewage Disposal plant, reflecting the mid-century modernization of this High Plains town.
