1953 Map of Mill Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Waconda Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Kansas quadrangle, where the North Fork Solomon River and South Fork Solomon River converge. This 1970s revision captures the area after the creation of the reservoir, highlighting the altered shoreline and the prominence of Great Spirit Spring near the eastern boundary. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Mill Creek and Carr Creek, which cut through the agricultural townships of Carr Creek, Bloom, and Pittsburg. Local civic life is anchored by a centralized Town Hall in the Carr Creek district and a rural Cem located near the border of Osborne and Mitchell Counties. The map illustrates the transition from river-bottom farming to a reservoir-centered landscape, preserving the locations of earlier school sites and homestead roads that cross the rolling plains.
