1964 Map of Wilson NE

About this map

Vesper and the surrounding Golden Belt Valley characterize this mid-1960s landscape in Lincoln County, Kansas. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with the Saline River winding through the northern portion while Bullfoot Creek, East Twin Creek, and Cow Creek drain the surrounding heights. Evidence of local community life is visible in the placement of the Church of Christ and educational landmarks like Margaret Sch. The map records several small-scale extractive operations, including various Quarries and a Gravel Pit scattered across the valley slopes, indicating the local economy's reliance on the land's geological resources. Genealogists will find particular value in the precisely located Emanuels Cem and Voss Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early settler families within this agricultural region.
