1966 Map of Shawnee Reservoir

About this map

Shawnee Reservoir dominates the landscape of western Pottawatomie County, its many fingers reaching into the surrounding townships of Bales and Brinton. This 1960s survey documents a rural region defined by its watercourses and early infrastructure, from the North Canadian River in the northeast to the various creeks like South Deer Creek and Squirrel Creek that feed the local drainage. The map reveals a community-focused geography, marked by numerous small landmarks that served as local anchors.
