About this map

Uniontown and Redfield anchor this mid-1960s snapshot of Bourbon County, where the agricultural landscape is deeply etched by the winding course of the Marmaton River. The map reveals a transition in transportation, notably recording an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these rural centers. A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Pawnee Creek, providing a geographic anchor to the region's early settlement history.

Local life is recorded through numerous rural landmarks, from the Paint Creek Ch and Mt Drum Ch to several small family and community burial grounds like Woods Cem and Marion Cem. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Paint Creek, Walnut Creek, and Opossum Hollow Creek, which flow through the townships of Marion and Walnut. Small-scale industry is present in the form of several labeled quarries, suggesting the local extraction of stone common to this part of Kansas.
