1971 Map of White City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The rolling hills of Geary County are deeply incised by a drainage network feeding into Clarks Creek and Humboldt Creek during the early 1970s. This rural landscape is defined by its townships, with Jefferson, Wingfield, Blakely, and Liberty dividing the territory. The map provides significant detail for local historians, including the specific locations of Olson Cem and Rosey Cem, along with unnamed cemeteries that speak to the generational settlement of these Kansas uplands. Resource extraction is evident through a Quarry and various Quarries located in the southern sections, likely utilizing the limestone or shale layers of the Flint Hills region. Numerous tributaries like Dry Creek, Thomas Creek, and Davis Creek illustrate the natural topography that dictated the placement of early farmsteads and field boundaries.
