About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices across this rural landscape, a significant historical line separating the townships of Lincoln and Grant. This mid-century survey captures a transition in the Kansas countryside where agricultural land use and limestone extraction coincide. Several Quarries are scattered throughout the center of the sheet, indicating the local importance of the stone industry alongside traditional farming. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the convergence of Big Noxie Creek and Little Noxie Creek, which drain south toward the boundary of Adrian. Local landmarks such as Fairview Cem and Bucks Grove Ch serve as focal points for the surrounding rural communities. To the northeast, the Riley Lakes provide a rare departure from the stream-fed valleys that dominate the terrain of Pottawatomie and Jackson counties.
