About this map

Baker University serves as a central anchor for Baldwin City, a community defined by its educational heritage and grid-patterned residential streets. This 2009 survey shows a landscape where academia and agriculture meet, with the university grounds situated just north of the Baldwin Golf Course. To the north, the small settlement of Vinland sits near the Vinland Valley Aerodrome, surrounded by a network of sectional roads and drainages like Coal Creek.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for locating numerous burial sites scattered across the township, from the centrally located Prairie City Cemetery and Oakwood Cemetery to more remote sites like Stony Point Cemetery and Brumbaugh Cemetery. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the waters of Douglas Lake, held by the Douglas County State Lake Dam, providing a clear view of the area's water management and recreation infrastructure at the end of the decade.
