1964 Map of Soldier Creek SE

About this map

The Potawatomi Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, with the Potawatomi Indian Reservation Boundary clearly delineated across the townships of Lincoln, Washington, and Douglas. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including the winding courses of Little Soldier Creek, South Branch Soldier Creek, and James Creek. This rural section of Jackson County is marked by its community landmarks, such as the Potawatomi Mission Ch and rural education centers like Grand Prairie Sch and Sunnybrook Sch. Local genealogy is anchored by family-named sites including Mitchell Cem and Shipshee Cem, while small-scale land use is indicated by scattered gravel pits. The map reveals a settled agricultural landscape where section lines and unimproved roads follow the ridges between the numerous wooded creek valleys.
