1972 Map of Partridge

About this map

The town of Partridge sits at the intersection of two major rail corridors in central Reno County, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific lines converge. This 1972 survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by agricultural research and rural community infrastructure, featuring an Experimental Farm and a network of local institutions like the Eureka Sch and Plainview Ch. The topography is defined by the drainage of Red Rock Creek, which meanders through the southern townships of Troy and Castleton. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites including Center Cem and a smaller Cem located just south of the main settlement, providing a clear record of the area's established social geography before modern consolidated farming changed the rural footprint.
