2012 Map of Baldwin City

About this map

Baker Univ serves as the cultural anchor for Baldwin City in this eastern Kansas landscape, where the academic grounds transition into a meticulously gridded network of rural roads. The area is defined by its numerous burial grounds, including the historic Prairie City Cem and Oakwood Cem, which speak to the long-standing community roots in Douglas County. North of the city, the small settlement of Vinland sits near the Vinland Valley Aerodrome, highlighting a pocket of aviation history amidst the agricultural fields. The terrain is drained by several waterways, most notably Coal Cr and the Middle Fork Tauy Cr, while Douglas Lake and Baldwin City Lake provide distinct water features. This survey preserves the spatial relationship between the university town and its surrounding hamlets during the early twenty-first century.
