1964 Map of Westmoreland

About this map

Westmoreland serves as a focal point for this survey of northeast Kansas, showing a well-defined grid of residential blocks and local infrastructure. The surrounding landscape is carved by several drainages, including Rock Creek and Wilson Creek, which flow through a mix of upland territory and deeper draws like Dutch Hollow. To the north, the Pottawatomie County No 1 State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area provides a significant water feature and recreational tract. The area’s spiritual and community history is anchored by St Columbkilles Ch near Blaine, while several small burial sites like Huff Cem and Moodyville Cem are scattered across the townships of Shannon and Clear Creek. This map captures a rural Kansas interior where early pioneer landmarks, such as Mount Ephraim, remained central reference points for the 20th-century community.
