About this map

Louisburg stands as the primary hub in this late 1950s survey of eastern Kansas, situated along the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Middle Creek, Rabbit Creek, and Sugar Creek, which carve through the terrain south of the town center. Local industry is clearly visible through numerous Oil Wells peppered across the countryside, particularly surrounding the Spring Valley Sch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural civic life, marked by a high density of country schoolhouses such as McNelly Sch, Centennial Sch, and Moore Sch. The presence of the Miami Ch and the Bellview Sch Cem provides specific points for family history research. Outside of the town, Louisburg Lake and its associated Pumping Station indicate the managed water resources supporting the growing community and its agricultural surroundings.
