1955 Map of Santa Fe Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Butler County State Park serves as a central landmark for this region of Kansas, framing the waters of Santa Fe Lake as they are fed by Dry Creek. The landscape transition from the mid-1950s to 1970 is evident through the inclusion of the Kansas Turnpike and its associated toll road infrastructure cutting across the northern sections. This era shows a community in flux, where traditional rural markers like the Indianola Sch and small cemeteries such as Indianola Cem and Golden Cem coexist with mid-century industrial growth. Petroleum extraction is documented through several Oil Wells and a dedicated Oil Tank near the southern boundary. Transportation remains a dominant theme, with the Augusta Municipal Airport and the heavy rail corridors of the St Louis San Francisco and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines shaping the development of townships like Augusta and Bruno.
