About this map

Wayne and Talmo anchor this mid-1960s landscape in north-central Kansas, where the rolling plains are deeply etched by a complex drainage network. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad bisects the region, providing a primary transport artery through the townships of Jefferson, Lincoln, and Grant. The map captures a high level of local genealogical detail, marking numerous small burial grounds such as Frontier Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Zion Cem.

The southern edge of the survey transitions across the Republic Co Cloud Co line into Lawrence township. Here, the settlement of Hollis is situated near Hollis Spgs and Hollis Cem, while the meandering paths of West Creek and Upton Creek define the local topography. This period of the landscape is further marked by modern infrastructure, including prominent pipelines and a local Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's mid-century utility.
