1961 Map of Yocemento

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad and the winding course of Big Creek define the central corridor of this western Kansas landscape, which was surveyed in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Yocemento sits at the heart of the map, established during a brief industrial boom and later serving as a local transit point. The surrounding terrain is divided into the civil townships of Ellis, Buckeye, and Pleasant Hill, revealing a transition from cultivated prairie to the more complex topography of Hog Back.
