1968 Map of Lincoln NW

About this map

Prairie Grove Cem stands as a focal point for local family history within this central Kansas landscape, situated near the headwaters of numerous seasonal drainages. The area is defined by the complex topography of Round Springs and Battle Creek townships, where the terrain is dissected by Rattlesnake Creek and Salt Cr. The survey captures a moment in the late 1960s when small-scale extraction is evident through several Gravel Pits and a Quarry located along the creek bluffs. The boundary between Mitchell Co and Lincoln Co runs horizontally across the upper third of the map, marking a transition between the northern high ground and the branching valley systems of Scott and Marion townships to the south.
