A map drawn by Fay (Newcommer) Bear showing creeks, the Denver Trail, and the homesteaders of Grant Township, Township 14 South, Range 14 West, in Russell County. On a four pages note, Fay gives a comprehensive list of the names of the present owners and homesteaders of the township. This is one of several maps drawn by school children for a contest organized by Judge J. C. Ruppenthal of Russell, Kansas. The maps were to meet a "requirement of presenting historical data, together with excellence and accuracy of drawing."
