About this map

Extensive Strip Mine operations dominate the landscape of Crawford County in this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the industrial character of southeastern Kansas. The extraction sites follow the winding path of Second Cow Creek and Brush Creek, deeply altering the local topography. This industrial activity is served by a dense network of major rail lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the St Louis - San Francisco Railroad.

Small agricultural and mining settlements like Radley, South Radley, and Beulah are interspersed between the mine workings. Genealogists can locate several local landmarks, such as Mt Olive Ch, Beulah Cem, and the West Union Cem. Other notable features include the Childrens Home north of Beulah and the Harport Landing Field, reflecting the area's social and transportation infrastructure during this era.
