1968 Map of Medford

About this map

Medford serves as the focal point of this Grant County landscape, showing the town's layout during a period of industrial and agricultural activity. The rail infrastructure is particularly prominent, with the Kansas and Texas and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines intersecting near the town center. Outside the residential blocks, the Numa Oil Field points to the region's energy production, while several family and community landmarks are scattered across the surrounding townships. Genealogists will find several distinct burial grounds, including the Czecho Slovak Cem in the northeast and Rosemound Cem near the town's southern edge. The natural drainage of the prairie is defined by several waterways like Bullwacker Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Polecat Creek, which carve through the open sections of Hickory, Fairview, and Liberty townships.
