1953 Map of Wamego SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Deep Creek and its many tributaries, including East Branch and South Branch, carve through the rolling landscapes of Zeandale and Washington townships in the early 1950s. This rural section of the Kansas countryside is marked by small social and educational hubs, such as the Community Hall and the Tabor Sch near Tabor Valley. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Tabor Hill, where the drainage network of Antelope Creek and Hendricks Creek begins its descent. Traces of local utility and communication are evident in the landscape, from a solitary Windmill on a high ridge to a Radio Tower further south. The map captures the dividing line between Riley and Wabaunsee counties as it was surveyed just before the mid-century, showing a quiet agricultural economy supported by infrastructure like a local Gravel Pit.
