2018 Map of Emporia

About this map

Emporia is defined by the convergence of the Neosho River and the Cottonwood River, creating a fertile landscape that fostered its growth as a regional hub. This 2018 survey reveals a well-established urban grid punctuated by historical landmarks and community spaces. Local history is anchored at sites like Maplewood Cem and the Maplewood Memorial Lawn Cem, while the industrial legacy of the region is traced through names like Freight Rd and the Emporia Junction. Small water bodies such as Wooster Lake and East Lake break the terrain, alongside established crossings like Wooster Bridge. Beyond the city limits, the map details the rural character of Lyon County, marked by peripheral settlements like Merrick and a network of county roads such as RD 190 and RD 230 that connect the surrounding farmsteads.
