1957 Map of Waverly NW

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northern landscape of Osage and Coffey Counties, anchoring the small settlements of Olivet and Melvern during the late 1950s. This survey reveals a transition from the structured rail corridors to the meandering drainage systems of the eastern Kansas plains, where Frog Creek and Long Creek converge. A notable historical marker on the terrain is the Old Indian Boundary, which bisects the southern half of the sheet, providing a fixed reference point to earlier territorial divisions.
