1963 Map of Tull

About this map

The Saline River winds through the heart of this landscape, forming a natural boundary that defines the rural character of Grant and Saline counties. This 1963 survey captures a transition in local infrastructure, where traditional crossings like Nance Ford remain while modern Gravel Pits and pipelines begin to score the terrain. The settlement of Tull serves as a central hub, situated near Tull Lake and the various tributaries of Mud Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of small family and community burial grounds, including Ashcraft Cem, Jones Cem, and Jacob Cem, many of which are tucked away near timbered branches. The presence of the Missouri Pacific railroad in the northeast corner near Detonti and the clustered activity at Haskell underscore the importance of rail transport to the local economy during this era.
