About this map

The Auburn townsite occupies the heart of this landscape, situated near the convergence of several major waterways in Shawnee County. The Wakarusa River system dominates the southern portion of the map, with the North Branch Wakarusa River, Middle Branch Wakarusa River, and South Branch Wakarusa River coming together to shape the local drainage. To the north, the waters of Sherwood Lake and the winding Shunganunga Creek define the suburban fringe.

Local landmarks such as the Auburn Post Office and the Skyranch Landing Strip provide evidence of 21st-century infrastructure, while genealogists can find historical grounding at the Auburn Cemetery and the Elevation Cemetery located in the northeast. The map's grid-like road network, featuring routes like SW 69th St and SW 45th St, reflects the orderly agricultural and residential development of the Kansas prairie near the state capital.
