1963 Map of Lasita

About this map

Fancy Creek and its tributary, West Fancy Creek, carve through this landscape along the Clay Co Riley Co line in the early 1960s. The settlement of Lasita sits near the center of the sheet, while the town of Green occupies the western edge, surrounded by a network of rural schools and churches that defined the social geography of the era. Evidence of a changing infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade traversing the southern portion of the map, and the emergence of the Tuttle Creek Reservoir in the northeast corner, which began altering the local drainage patterns. Significant landmarks for local history include several dedicated burial grounds such as May Day Cem and Fancy Creek Cem, alongside rural educational centers like Pleasant Hill Sch and Fairview Sch.
