1966 Map of Timken
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Walnut Creek and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchor this mid-1960s survey of central Rush County. The small community of Timken sits at the center of a rural landscape organized into townships including Lone Star, Pioneer, Banner, and Garfield. This era reveals an economy balanced between traditional agriculture and growing industrial activity, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells concentrated in the northeast and several sandpits scattered across the terrain. Cultural sites for genealogical study are prominent, including the Holy Cross Cem and the Bohemian Cem, while a small Landing Field near the creek highlights the local aviation infrastructure of the time. The transition from the alluvial bottomlands of Dry Walnut Creek to the surrounding uplands is clearly delineated by the detailed topography of the mid-century period.
