1955 Map of Swede Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mc Dowell Creek and its many tributaries, including Swede Creek and Briggs Branch, carve through the Flint Hills landscape in this mid-century survey of the Ashland, Zeandale, and Jackson townships. The map documents a rural environment on the cusp of modernization, featuring Interstate 70 cutting across the central hills, while older community markers remain prominent. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ashland Cem and Briggs Cem, alongside civic foundations like Briggs School and School No 4. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate, with Deadman Creek, Poole Branch, and West McDowell Creek illustrating the complex water network that defined property lines and early settlement patterns in this part of Riley and Geary Counties.
