About this map

Arkansas River bottomlands define the southeastern corner of this Pawnee County landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor follows the valley floor alongside the river's winding course. This era shows the rural intersection of industrial activity and agricultural persistence, marked by active Oil Wells in the west and a Gravel Pit near the riverbank.

The small settlement of Nettleton sits at the southern border, while the higher elevations of Pleasant Ridge and Keysville provide a topographical contrast to the fertile drainage of Coon Creek. For those tracing local history, the Garfield Cem stands as a significant landmark on the northern edge of the river valley, while a Roadside Park near the center of the sheet indicates the early 1970s emphasis on traveler infrastructure through the Great Plains.
