1959 Map of Mount Hope

About this map

The agrarian landscape of northwest Sedgwick County is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor, which links the established agricultural centers of Mount Hope and Andale during the late 1950s. The terrain is notably etched by the winding course of the Big Slough and its South Fork, creating a distinct drainage pattern across the townships of Greeley and Sherman. One of the most significant historical markers shown is the Old Indian Boundary, which cuts across the southern portion of the map, providing a glimpse into the earlier division of the Kansas territory.
