1985 Map of Wickes
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Wickes and Hatton anchor this mid-1980s topographical survey of the borderlands between Polk and Howard counties. The landscape is dominated by the east-west ridge of the Cross Mountains, with Bradley Gap providing a natural passage for travel through the high ground. The Kansas City Southern railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, running north-south and connecting these rural communities. Local life is documented through numerous small institutions, including Daniel, Witherspoon, and Tate cemeteries, along with rural congregations at Crystal Hill Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and Baker Ch. The map also highlights the area's resource extraction through several Shale Pits and Quarries located near the railway, while the Cossatot River and Rolling Fork drain the rugged hillsides.
