1975 Map of Severy South

About this map

The railroad junction at Severy anchors this mid-1970s survey, where the St Louis-San Francisco and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines cross near the Greenwood and Elk County line. The landscape is a mix of agricultural pasture and energy extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry in the township of Win Grove. To the north, the Severy Municipal Reservoir serves as a local water source, while the southern reaches near the small settlement of Fiat are defined by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Snake Creek. Local community life is marked by landmarks like the Sunflower Grange Hall and the Pleasant View Cemetery, showing the rural social structure during this period of Kansas history. The map also records specialized infrastructure, such as the Gaging Station on Snake Creek and Sewage Disposal Ponds near the town center.
