2009 Map of Carbondale

About this map

Carbondale and Scranton anchor this Osage County landscape, illustrating the development of these small Kansas towns in the early 21st century. The map highlights a transition between traditional agricultural grids and modern infrastructure, centered around the north-south corridor of U.S. Route 75. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with the Strowbridge Reservoir and Osage County Lake providing local recreation and resource control. For those tracing family histories, several significant sites are clearly marked, including Carbondale Cemetery, Scranton Cemetery, and Mount Calvary Cemetery. Smaller locales like Mineral Springs and Four Corners suggest older settlement patterns that persisted alongside the expansion of the primary towns. The drainage of Hundred and Ten Mile Creek and Armstrong Branch provides a natural counterpoint to the rigid street grids of the residential areas.
