1957 Map of Peabody NW

About this map

Doyle Creek meanders across this rural landscape at the border of Marion and Harvey Counties during the late 1950s. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by a network of rural schoolhouses, including Pleasant Valley Sch, Ridge Sch, and Center Sch, reflecting a time of localized community education before widespread consolidation. To the southeast, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving the local economy alongside the Oil Well operations in the Oil Field near Southwest Unger. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Dunkard Cem and Doyle Valley Cem, which provide specific anchor points for historical family research in this section of central Kansas.
