1961 Map of Main City

About this map

Main City and the small settlements of Burdett and Lacyville anchor this rural landscape along the border of Cass and Bates counties in the early 1960s. The topography is defined by the winding drainages of Mormon Fork, Black Creek, and Millsap Creek, which cut through the agricultural plateaus of East Boone and Elkhart townships. Evidence of local education and community life is visible through a network of rural schools including Main City Sch, Everett Sch, and Green Valley Sch, along with Fairview Ch and the Burdett Cem.
