1972 Map of Lonsdale NE

About this map

The Alum Fork Saline River and Middle Fork Saline River converge in this northern Saline County landscape, creating a complex network of drainages that defined local settlement patterns in the early 1970s. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Frillman Ridge, which directs the flow of smaller tributaries such as Lees Creek. This survey reveals a community anchored by rural landmarks, where the Base Line survey marker cuts across the hills. Genealogists can identify several key family and community sites, including Bolin Cem and Wesleys Chapel Cem, alongside local congregations at Unity Landmark Ch and Gravel Hill Ch. The map reflects a period of transition, with original 1972 data updated with 1982 photorevisions to show changes in rural roads and land use near the Geurin Cem area.
