1964 Map of Latham

About this map

Latham serves as the primary settlement on this mid-1960s survey of southeastern Butler County, situated along the St. Louis San Francisco railroad line. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Hickory Creek and Rock Creek, which cut through the townships of Logan, Hickory, Clay, and Union. A central landmark is the Butler County State Lake, also identified as Clymer Lake, which represents a significant water management and recreational feature for the era. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Latham Cem, Bryant Cem, and Brownlow Cem. The presence of a Landing Field and a Gravel Pit indicates the local infrastructure and industry supporting this rural Kansas community during the early 1960s.
