About this map

Tuttle Creek Reservoir dominates the landscape north of Manhattan, Kansas, reflecting a mid-century period of massive hydraulic engineering and land transformation along the Big Blue River. This survey captures the region just after the reservoir's creation, illustrating the inundation zones and the emergence of new lakeside infrastructure like the Stockdale Recreation Area and Garrison Recreation Area. On the western shore, the small community of Sedalia persists near the Sedalia Ch, while the surrounding terrain is marked by a mix of upland farming and drainage features such as Kitten Creek and Baldwin Creek. Genealogists will find critical landmarks preserved in the record, including the Hebron Cem and Carnahan-Garrison Cem, which sit amidst a grid of section lines and isolated features like a Landing Strip and a Quarry.
