1966 Map of Washington NW

About this map

Washington County State Park serves as a prominent landmark in this 1960s landscape, showcasing the rural character of Washington County. The area is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with Jones Creek and Skull Creek cutting through the terrain of Lowe and Farmington townships. Local heritage is preserved through community sites such as SS Peter and Paul Ch and the Greenfield Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents modern utility infrastructure, tracing a Pipeline that bisects the rolling uplands between Gray Branch and Riddle Creek. This survey reflects the agricultural nature of the region just before significant modern shifts, detailing the section-line roads and homesteads that structured life in northern Kansas.
