About this map

The small town of Thornton serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the Southern Pacific rail line. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, suggesting a landscape rooted in multi-generational land ownership. Locations such as Pippin Cem, Carroll Cem, and Phifer Cem are scattered across the rolling terrain between Keel Creek and Phifer Creek, marking the historical burial grounds of local settlers.
