About this map

Langford serves as the central hub of this late-1950s prairie landscape, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring a Sewage Disposal plant on its northwestern edge and easy access to the surrounding agricultural townships of Newport, Hickman, Farmington, and Homer. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of Antelope Creek, which winds through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several rural landmarks outside the main settlement. Three distinct burial grounds are recorded: St Peter Cem and Hillside Cem situated north of the creek, and Homer Cem to the south. The map also documents industrial activity in the form of a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary, reflecting the region's reliance on local natural resources during this era of development in the Missouri River Basin.
