2018 Map of Edgerton

About this map

The borderlands of Douglas and Johnson Counties in eastern Kansas are defined by a grid of rural roads and the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Captain Cr and Wymore Cr. At the southern edge of the survey, the town of Edgerton is situated along the rail corridor, adjacent to Santa Fe Lake and South Lake. The landscape is dotted with small, historically significant settlements like Black Jack and Clearfield, each maintaining their own distinct community spaces. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites such as Old Black Jack Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and Adams Cem. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural plateaus to the drainage basins of the Little Wakarusa Cr, illustrating the persistent rural character of the region as it borders more developed areas.
