1964 Map of Soldier Creek SW

About this map

The Potawatomi Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this Kansas landscape, defining the administrative and cultural geography of the region in the mid-1960s. This rural expanse is marked by a network of creeks, including the winding Soldier Creek and its South Branch, which drain the undulating terrain. Small community hubs are anchored by local landmarks such as Our Lady of the Snows Ch and High Prairie Sch, reflecting the traditional social centers of Jackson County's townships like Adrian and Lincoln. In the southern portion of the map, the Union Pacific railroad cuts through the countryside near Delia Cem, illustrating the vital transportation link that connected these farming communities to broader markets. Several family and community burial grounds, including Shields Cem and Dampground Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogical research and local history.
