1972 Map of Phillipsburg South

About this map

Phillipsburg anchors the northern edge of this survey, where the local High Sch, Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, and a Drive-in Theater reflect the mid-century growth of the Phillips County seat. To the south, the village of Glade sits at a critical junction where the Missouri Pacific railroad meets the North Fork Solomon River. The hydrology of the region is defined by the extensive Kirwin Reservoir and the adjacent Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge, which dominate the eastern landscape. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of Fairview Cemetery and Marvin Cem, alongside industrial markers like an Oil Field and various sandpits. The presence of an Old RR Grade running parallel to the active rail line suggests a landscape in transition, where older transportation corridors were being replaced or redirected by the early 1970s.
