1967 Map of Norton NE

About this map

Sheley Cem sits at the heart of this landscape, a quiet landmark within the rural northern Kansas countryside during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a high prairie terrain divided into townships, including Aldine, Harrison, Emmett, and Center. These political boundaries overlay a natural drainage system defined by the North Fork Prairie Dog Creek and its tributary, Spring Branch. This 1967 field-checked survey highlights the traditional section-line road grid that characterizes the region's agricultural layout, providing a precise look at the rural property lines and water sources vital to the local farming community.
