1973 Map of Porterville

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Porterville sits near the crossing of several county lines in this southeastern Kansas landscape, where the Old Indian Treaty Boundary still marks the land division between Bourbon Co and Allen and Neosho Counties. The area is defined by its agricultural and early industrial character, with numerous oil wells and a dedicated oil field scattered across the drainage of Flat Rock Creek and Little Walnut Creek. Genealogists will find several community landmarks, including Harmony Cem, Rosedale Cem, and Walnut Cem, which served the rural population before mid-century shifts. The southern edge of the map features the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad line passing near the small settlement of Vehlow, illustrating the vital rail links that supported the region's transport and energy economy during the early 1970s.
