1961 Map of Table Mound

About this map

Elk River meanders through the southern half of this Kansas landscape, defined by the winding course of Gordon Creek and Pocket Creek as they converge toward the valley. The 1961 survey provides a clear view of the rural sections of Louisburg and Sycamore, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks follow the river's path. Local life is anchored by small rural institutions such as Lone Elm Sch, Gamble Sch, and the Sycamore Valley Ch. Significant topographic elevation is found at Table Mound, which rises sharply above the riverbanks. The map also records numerous local burial sites, including White Cem and Simpson Cem, alongside industrial activity at various Oil Wells and a Quarry near the settlement of Le Hunt.
