1955 Map of Udall

About this map

Udall and the surrounding Cowley County countryside are defined by a landscape transitioning between agricultural fields and the meandering Walnut River. The mid-1950s terrain is dotted with small-scale rural infrastructure, including Red Bud Sch and Olive Sch, alongside community anchors like Star Valley Cem and Brookshire Cem. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a north-south path through Rock, supporting the regional movement of goods and people. Local industry is visible through numerous Oil Wells and a Quarry near the riverbanks. An Old Indian Boundary line persists in the survey, marking a historical division that predates the modern township grid. This period shows the area prior to significant modern infrastructure changes, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and small country churches like Walnut Valley Ch.
