About this map

The Toronto townsite serves as the central hub of this Woodson County quadrangle, situated just north of the expansive Toronto Lake. This survey captures the landscape at a time when the Quincy Oil Field defined the industrial character of the northeastern corner, while agricultural life was supported by the winding Verdigris River and its various tributaries like Cedar Creek. Notable landmarks include Camp Ascension and the distinct elevation of Biscuit Mound to the north.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Toronto Cemetery and Cedar Bluff Cemetery, as well as the naming of smaller geographic features such as Snag Hollow and Negro Hollow. The shoreline of the reservoir includes Duck Island, illustrating the local recreation and water management systems that transformed the valley. A structured grid of rural roads, including Antelope Rd and Bobcat Rd, connects these scattered landmarks across the Kansas plains.
