1979 Map of Logan SE

About this map

Bow Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining the rural boundary between Phillips and Rooks Counties and briefly touching Graham County. This 1970s survey captures a transition in Kansas land use, where the open prairie of Plainview and the Pioneer Field are marked by agricultural development and early-century infrastructure. The small community of Towanda serves as a local anchor, while the Prairie Dale Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this tri-county corner. Industrial footprints are visible in the northern section, where the Towanda Field and a nearby Radio Tower stand out against the agricultural grid. To the north, Logan City Lake serves as a primary water feature, contrasting with the seasonal drainage patterns of Sand Creek in the south.
