The town of Olmitz anchors this survey of central Kansas, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The landscape reflects a dual economy of agriculture and energy, with vast oil production areas including the Mater Oil Field, Mary A Oil Field, and Albion Oil Field spanning several townships. The drainage of Blood Creek and Landon Creek carves a winding path through the prairie terrain, which is divided into the administrative districts of Fairview, Wheatland, Grant, Walnut, and Eureka. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several religious and community burial sites, notably St Anns Cem, Boyle Cem, and St Anthony Cem. This 1969 field-checked survey provides a meticulous record of rural infrastructure, from the prominent Radio Tower to the extensive underground Pipeline network that connects the various oil fields.
