1967 Map of Willowdale

About this map

Willowdale serves as the primary focal point of this rural Kingman County landscape during the mid-1960s. The settlement is positioned near the confluence of Peters Creek and Pettyt Creek, highlighting the importance of natural drainage in this agricultural section of Kansas. The map captures an era of infrastructure development and resource extraction, evidenced by a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections and an Oil Well located among the tributary headwaters of Meadow Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal waterways, including Painter Creek, Allen Creek, and Cross Creek, which carve through the land between the townships of Peters and Union. This survey provides a precise look at the rural road grid and land divisions before modern agricultural consolidation significantly altered the footprint of local farmsteads.
