About this map

La Crosse serves as the central hub of this mid-century Kansas landscape, situated at the intersection of the Missouri Pacific railroad and regional roads. The town's social and municipal structure is well-defined, featuring the County Fairground, Grass Park, and a Drive-in Theater south of the main residential grid. For genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Friends Cem to the northwest, and St Michaels Cem and La Crosse Cem on the eastern outskirts.

Aviation and industry are prominent, with the Rush County Airfield and Hoover Landing Field supporting the region's transport needs. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is marked by several Quarries and the winding course of Sand Creek. The map also captures local administrative divisions such as Big Timber, Illinois, and Brookdale, providing a clear view of the rural township organization during this era.
