1964 Map of Olsburg

About this map

Olsburg serves as the primary hub of this Pottawatomie County landscape, situated just east of the northern reaches of Tuttle Creek Lake. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain where the Blue Valley meets the high ridges of Shannon and Green townships. A network of local burial grounds, including Spring Creek Cem, Mariadahl Cem, and Adams Peak Cem, offers significant research value for those tracing early settlement patterns in the Flint Hills region. The drainage system is particularly well-defined, with Buckshort Creek, Carnahan Creek, and McIntire Creek carving through the limestone hills. Industrial and utility infrastructure of the era is represented by a local Quarry and a Landing Strip near the small community of Fostoria on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
