1968 Map of Xenia NE

About this map

Kenner Oil Field and the Xenia Oil Field dominate the southern landscape of this 1968 study, where scattered oil wells and a network of pipelines define the local extraction economy. The region is largely rural, divided into townships including Oskaloosa, Louisville, and Harter. Settlement is concentrated around the small community of Kenner and along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor that cuts through the center. Small rural landmarks provide critical points of reference for local historians, from McCabe Chapel and Lincoln Sch to numerous family and community burial grounds such as Meisenheimer Cem and Oak Mound Cem. The drainage patterns of Buck Creek and Raccoon Creek weave through the township boundaries, alongside modern additions like a drive-in theater near the northern edge.
