2012 Map of Grantville

About this map

Grantville and the surrounding river bottomlands define the landscape where Muddy Cr meets the Kansas River. This area northeast of Topeka shows a mix of historical settlement and modern infrastructure, including the Philip Billard Municipal Airport and the massive East Topeka Interchange. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of three distinct burial grounds: Grantville Cem, Old Grantville Cem, and Bethel Cem. North of the river, the Rees Fruit Farm stands near the intersection of several established rural roads like NE Croco Rd. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into suburban development near Tecumseh, anchored by recreational features such as Lake Shawnee and Lake Jivaro. A complex network of drainage is visible, featuring the Old Channel Shunganunga Creek and the meandering path of Whetstone Cr.
