About this map

Onaga serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, situated at the intersection of the Union Pacific railroad and Mill Creek. The town is well-established with community infrastructure including a Fairground, a local Landing Strip, and a Sewage Disposal site. The surrounding terrain is organized into distinct areas such as Lone Tree, Sherman, and Vienna, reflecting the rural township structure of Pottawatomie County during this era.

A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, bisects the southern portion of the map, providing a tangible link to 19th-century land divisions. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the presence of the Vermillion Valley Sch and the Vienna Cem, while the natural drainage is defined by the winding paths of Vermillion Creek, Jim Creek, and Spring Creek. A lone Quarry indicates localized industrial activity amidst the predominantly rural valley landscape.
