2015 Map of Emporia

About this map

The Emporia city grid sits at the confluence of the Neosho River and the Cottonwood River, serving as a regional hub for education and commerce. This survey captures the extensive campus of Emporia State Univ near Wooster Lake and the Flint Hills Technical Coll on the western edge of town. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major transportation lines at Emporia Junction and the small outlying settlement of Merrick. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several large interment sites, including Maplewood Cem, Memorial Lawn Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem. The surrounding topography is marked by a network of creeks such as Troublesome Cr, Allen Cr, and Taylor Cr which drain the plains toward the primary river valleys.
