About this map

The community of Globe and the surrounding rural landscapes of Douglas County are defined by a network of drainage creeks and small settlements in this 2009 survey. To the northeast, the impounded waters of Lone Star Lake are held by the Lone Star Lake Dam, creating a focal point for the region near the settlement of Alfred. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Twin Mounds, which give their name to a nearby cemetery.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout this quadrant, including Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington Creek Cemetery, Dodder Cemetery, and Twin Mounds Cemetery. The landscape is carved by several watercourses including Washington Creek, Eightmile Creek, and Rock Creek, while a rigid grid of rural routes like N 900 Rd and the angled N 851 Diagonal Rd connects the dispersed farms and homesteads across this eastern Kansas prairie.
