1965 Map of Norton NW

About this map

Sappa Creek and Jones Creek meander through the northwest corner of this Kansas landscape, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the high plains in the mid-1960s. The area is defined by its agricultural and township structure, spanning the rural districts of Garfield, Center, and Aladine. A notable landmark for local history and genealogy is Grace Chapel, which stands alone among the section lines north of the Rock Branch terrain feature. The map captures the region after decades of settlement, where numerous small tributaries like Boy Creek, Dutch Creek, and Deer Creek cut through the topography, dictating the placement of farmsteads and rural roads. This survey, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, provides a detailed view of the water resources and land divisions in Norton County before modern consolidated farming shifted the footprint of the rural community.
