2012 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn serves as the central settlement on this Shawnee County map, situated at the confluence of several local waterways. The community is defined by its position near the N Br Wakarusa River, while the larger Wakarusa River and its S Br Wakarusa River trace the southern portion of the landscape. For local historians, the sheet identifies several key burying grounds, including Auburn Cem, Elevation Cem, and Somervell Cem, providing specific geographic context for early residents. To the northeast, the development around Sherwood Lake contrasts with the surrounding agricultural grid. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring Blacksmith Cr, Shunganunga Cr, Sixmile Cr, and Colly Cr, which have shaped the movement and road patterns of the region south of Topeka.
