2012 Map of Emporia

About this map

The Neosho River and Cottonwood River converge near the heart of Lyon County, framing the regional hub of Emporia. This 2012 survey illustrates the town's mature footprint, anchored by the Emporia State University campus and major transport corridors like the Kansas Turnpike. Settlement patterns extend into suburban developments such as Berkeley Hills and Hills Village, while the city's agricultural and industrial roots remain evident at the Lyon County Fairgrounds and the Emporia Junction rail intersection. Local heritage is preserved in several large grounds, including Maplewood Cem and Memorial Lawn Cem. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding paths of Allen Creek and Troublesome Creek, which cut through the grid of county roads that serve the outlying community of Merrick.
