A map drawn by Ralph Deines showing creeks, school houses, churches and quarries of Township 15 South, Range 14 West, Russell County. Ralph also includes a history of Lincoln township, focusing on the settlement of Germen-Russians at the end of the 19th century. 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."
