About this map

The railroad community of Waverly serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the Kansas prairie, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Old Railroad Grade. This transport hub, marked by a detailed grid of streets and the Waverly Cem, reflects the agricultural economy of the Osage and Coffey County line. To the northeast, the smaller settlement of Agricola sits along the tracks, near the Pleasant View Cem.

The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Rock Creek and Willow Creek, where topographic contours reveal the subtle draws of Lane Hollow and Rocky Run. Local heritage is anchored by rural landmarks such as Rosemont Ch and the Rock Creek Cem, alongside small named locations like Boothe Hall. These features illustrate the distribution of small-scale farming and communal centers across the Flint Hills region during the late 1950s.
