1973 Map of Mc Cune NE

About this map

Neosho State Waterfowl Management Area dominates the northern landscape of this region where Crawford, Neosho, and Labette counties meet. The survey reveals an economy rooted in both the land and the subsurface, with numerous Oil Field operations, a Gravel Pit, and scattered Gas Well sites distributed across the townships of Mission, Grant, Lincoln, and Osage. For genealogists, the map is particularly helpful for locating rural burial sites such as Valley City Cem, Frog Cem, and Dumbuld Cem, which are tucked away near the winding paths of Hickory Creek and Murphy Creek. The southern reach is defined by the Neosho River, featuring the distinctive oxbows of Halfmoon Lake and Little Halfmoon Lake, providing a clear look at the hydraulic patterns and land use of the early 1970s.
