1964 Map of Laclede

About this map

Vermillion Creek carves a deep path through this Kansas landscape, serving as the central geographic feature for the community of Laclede. This survey, based on 1959 aerial photography and updated in the late 1970s, captures a rural agrarian network defined by its small cemeteries and watercourses. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Laclede Cem, Polly Creek Cem, and Vieux Cem, which provide specific points of reference for local families. The presence of a Gaging Station on Vermillion Creek and a major Pipeline indicates the local management of natural resources and infrastructure. The topography is further segmented by numerous drainages such as Pomeroy Creek, Indian Creek, and Lost Creek, which weave between the surveyed township boundaries of Center, Emmett, and Louisville.
