About this map

Mc Loud serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Canadian River and its various tributaries, including Brush Creek and North Deer Creek. Local community life is rooted in sites like the Kickapoo Mission, Minneha Ch, and the Community Hall, while the industrial presence of the Mc Loud Gas Field and scattered Sandpits indicates the extraction economy of the era.

Transportation networks are well-developed, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail line cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle near the settlement of Dale. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, such as Abrams Cem, Jent Cem, and Centerville Cem. The map also captures several smaller named locales like Midway and Clarks Heights, providing a look at Pottawatomie County's rural residential patterns before major modern expansion.
