1989 Map of Peabody NW

About this map

Doyle Creek winds through the central Kansas prairie in this 1980s landscape where Marion and Harvey counties meet. The region is defined by a series of north-to-south drainage systems, including Spring Creek, which are interspersed with agricultural fields and specialized petroleum infrastructure. Evidence of energy extraction is localized near the Oil Field and various Oil Wells in the northeastern section of the map, illustrating the region's mixed economy of ranching and oil. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved rural burial sites, such as Dunkard Cem, Catlin Cem, and Doyle Valley Cem. A prominent Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark on the higher ground of the East Branch terrain, while the jurisdictional boundary of Marion and Harvey Counties bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle.
