2012 Map of Ada

About this map

Ada sits at the intersection of White St and N 30th Rd, serving as a focal point for this rural Ottawa County landscape. The area is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek and its various tributaries, including Cow Creek and First Creek, which create a complex drainage pattern across the agricultural grid. To the west, the small settlement of Milo stands near the banks of Salt Creek, illustrating the dispersed nature of early Kansas communities. For those researching local history, the map documents several important burial sites that anchor the rural landscape: the Bohemian National Cemetery in the northeast, the Baldwin Cemetery near Quartz Rd, and the Spring Creek Cemetery to the south. These landmarks, along with the section-line road network, reveal the enduring structure of the region's homesteading past.
