1964 Map of Windom SW

About this map

The Little Arkansas River meanders diagonally across this rural landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding prairie. In the mid-1960s, the area was divided into distinct townships including Rockville, Hayes, and East Washington, where the pattern of sections and section-line roads defined the local geography. Small community hubs are anchored by local institutions such as Rockville Sch and the nearby Rockville Cem, while further east, the Andover Ch and Andover Cem stand along the banks of Lone Tree Creek. Industrial activity is visible in several locations, notably a Quarry situated near the river's bend and a Gravel Pit to the south. These features, along with the Prairie Vista Sch, illustrate the infrastructure of a distributed agricultural society during the mid-twentieth century.
