1970 Map of Lincolnville NE

About this map

Diamond Creek and its various tributaries carve through the upland pastures of the Flint Hills along the border of Marion and Chase counties. In the early 1970s, this landscape remained primarily defined by its drainage systems and agricultural sections, with notable cultural markers like Elk Cem providing vital points of reference for genealogists studying the local families. The terrain transitions from the broader valley of Middle Creek into the dissected hills of the Grant township area. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, seen in a lone Quarry and an Oil Well located near the creek banks. The map details a network of section-line roads and creek crossings, such as those along Stribby Creek and Wildcat Creek, that served the isolated farmsteads of this rural Kansas interior.
