1971 Map of Volland

About this map

Volland sits at a strategic bend in the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, serving as a primary point of interest in this 1971 survey of Wabaunsee County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Mill Creek and Spring Creek, which cut through the townships of Washington and Garfield. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Fix Cem, Templin Cem, and East Templin Cem. The presence of a Quarry and the extensive rail infrastructure highlights the local industry and transportation networks that shaped this Kansas prairie region during the early 1970s. The proximity to Alma at the northeast edge of the quadrangle further orients this study of rural Kansas development.
