1981 Map of Tarkio East

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Tarkio River and its various tributaries, including Middle Tarkio Creek and Little Tarkio Creek, define the landscape of Atchison County in the early 1980s. The town of Tarkio serves as a local hub, situated near the Burlington Northern railroad line and the Gould-Peterson Municipal Airport. The map highlights a rural infrastructure of small settlements and civic landmarks, from the Community Hall in Colfax to the Oil Field operations near Long Branch. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Center Grove Cem and Prairie Hill Cem. This topography shows the transition between the rolling uplands of Lincoln and Colfax townships and the fertile bottomlands where the river system converges. Smaller locales like Wells, York, and Center View are preserved here alongside the essential Radio Tower and Substation facilities that powered the regional economy.
