About this map

Indiana, Valley, and Franklin townships dominate this mid-1960s landscape, where the meandering courses of Bullfoot Creek, Spring Creek, and Elkhorn Creek define the drainage of the Kansas uplands. The sheet reveals a rural community anchored by institutional landmarks such as St John Ch and the nearby St John Sch, located in the northeastern quadrant.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through numerous labeled Gravel Pits and several Quarries scattered across the township boundaries. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Heiser Cem near the northern border. This survey also provides an unchecked record of land management through fine red dashed lines that indicate the location of selected fence and field lines visible from aerial photography at the time.
