About this map

The town of McLouth serves as the focal point for this 1951 survey of Jefferson and Leavenworth counties, situated near the historic Old Delaware Reservation North Boundary Line. The landscape is a network of small rural school districts and family-named landmarks, reflecting a mid-century agricultural community that relied heavily on local institutions. Country schools such as Wild Horse Sch and Brown Grove Sch dot the hills, while others like Eureka Sch (Abandoned) already signaled the shifts in rural education by the early 1950s.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the Alexandria and Union townships. Natural drainage is defined by Fall Creek and Ninemile Creek, leading toward the southern reaches where Leavenworth County State Park and the State Lake provide a significant recreational landmark. The presence of the Fowler Cem and Stanwood Ch offers valuable anchor points for researchers tracing early settlement patterns in this part of Kansas.
