1963 Map of Missler

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad serves as the primary corridor through this section of Meade County, cutting diagonally across the landscape and passing directly through Missler. This small hub is situated amidst the high plains terrain of Mertilla and West Plains, where the land is defined by a network of drainage systems and intermittent water sources. To the east, Crooked Creek provides a significant topographic break, while the southwestern portion of the sheet features the winding course of Spring Creek. Local industry and geology are noted by the presence of Sandpits and numerous wells scattered throughout the region. Notable water features like Big Springs and Hart Draw indicate the vital importance of groundwater in this semi-arid Kansas environment during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a rural economy tied to the rails and the limited but critical water resources found in Meade Center and its surrounding townships.
