1968 Map of Lincoln NW

About this map

Round Springs and the surrounding townships of Scott, Marion, and Beaver define this portion of the Kansas landscape, where the drainage systems of Salt Creek and Rattlesnake Creek carve through the terrain. The map reveals a rural economy based on both agriculture and local resource extraction, as evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a Quarry located near the watercourses. For genealogists, the placement of Prairie Grove Cem in the southwestern quadrant provides a vital landmark for tracing family histories in this part of Lincoln County. The convergence of Battle Creek and its namesake township highlights the early naming conventions of the region, while the boundary line between Mitchell Co and Lincoln Co marks the northern extent of this 1968 survey.
