1964 Map of Langley

About this map

Langley stands as a focal point for local history on this central Kansas landscape, where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain. The community is well-documented with its Langley Sch and Langley Cem providing essential markers for genealogical research. To the north, the Smoky Hill River meanders toward the Kanopolis Lake, which dominates the northwest corner of the map alongside Kanopolis State Park. This mid-century survey captures the balance between the hydraulic engineering of the dam and the traditional agricultural and mining uses of the land. Evidence of local industry is scattered throughout, including numerous Sandpits and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. The natural drainage of the region is defined by several waterways, including Wiley Creek, Wolf Creek, and Sand Creek, while the Riverside Cem sits near the river's bend in the northeast.
