About this map

The Salem township of Greenwood County reveals a landscape defined by mid-century energy production and ranching as recorded in the late 1960s. Oil Wells and a complex network of pipelines crisscross the drainage of the East Branch River, indicating the significant petroleum activity surrounding the settlement of Teterville. This remote community and its associated industrial infrastructure, including the Cities Service Lake and a Radio Tower, sit at the intersection of energy development and the natural watercourses that feed the Flint Hills region.

Legacy landmarks such as the High Prairie Cem and Texaco Hill offer anchor points for genealogists and local historians. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, from the headwaters of Little Cedar Creek to the winding paths of Thurman Creek and Spring Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural landscape before modern agricultural or industrial shifts altered these drainage patterns.
