1972 Map of Wilsey SE

About this map

The Indian Treaty Boundary and Old Indian Treaty Boundary slash across this rural landscape, marking a significant historical line of demarcation in the Flint Hills region. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of upland drainage, where Elm Creek and Fourmile Creek carve through the prairie. The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor runs along the northern edge, supporting local industry evidenced by a Quarry and Gravel Pit. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Fourmile Cem, situated near the confluence of local streams. The map also captures the transition between Morris and Chase counties, reflecting a landscape of ranching and early transportation, including the quiet Roadside Park along the eastern highway corridor.
