1971 Map of Tonovay

About this map

The settlement of Tonovay and the winding course of Bachelor Creek characterize this Greenwood County landscape during the early 1970s. This survey records a transition in the local economy and land use, marked by the presence of Oil Well sites and Gravel Pits scattered across the township lines. A significant portion of the southern terrain is dedicated to the Fall River State Wildlife Management Area, bordering the northern reaches of Fall River Lake. The map reveals the intricate transport network of the era, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Missouri Pacific lines. A historical Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the southern sections, providing a glimpse into the earlier administrative division of the Kansas plains. Detailed infrastructure like a Pipeline and a Gaging Station along the river further document the industrial footprint on this rural landscape.
