1964 Map of Piedmont NE

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts across the southern edge of this Greenwood County landscape, marking the transit corridor through the Flint Hills region in the mid-1960s. The topography is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Fall River and its numerous tributaries, including Tadpole Creek and Honey Cr. High ground is represented by the open stretches of Spring Creek and Twin Grove. Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks, such as Pleasant View Cem situated near the confluence of the North Branch Otter Creek and South Branch Otter Creek. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of several Quarries located in the eastern portion of the survey. The map also includes the Piedmont Cem, providing a precise look at the rural settlement and cemetery locations before modern land-use changes.
