1971 Map of Miller

About this map

Wilmington and the small rail settlement of Miller anchor this landscape at the junction of Osage, Lyon, and Wabaunsee counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Dragoon Creek, Salt Creek, and Soldier Creek, which carve through the townships of Plumb, Waterloo, and Grant. A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet, reflecting the earlier administrative shaping of the Kansas territory. Modern and 19th-century transportation corridors run side-by-side here. The Kansas Turnpike provides high-speed transit while the Missouri Pacific railroad serves the southern portion of the quadrangle near Miller. Local landmarks like Stotler Ch, Wilmington Cem, and Maple Grove Cem provide essential reference points for genealogists tracking family history in these rural townships.
