About this map

The town of Liberty serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad Grade cuts across the landscape. The map highlights a rural community anchored by its spiritual and ancestral sites, including Mission Creek Ch and several burial grounds such as Liberty Cem, Zion Cem, and Lanner Cem.

Drainage is dominated by a network of waterways including Mission Creek, Arkeketa Creek, and Plum Creek, which carve through the townships of Richland and Mission Creek. A notable information-gain detail is the inclusion of photogrammetric revisions from 1978, which document land use changes since the original 1963 aerial photography, particularly near the Gravel Pit and the local Radio Tower. The survey also precisely marks the triple-county intersection of Gage, Pawnee, and Marshall counties.
