2018 Map of Grantville

About this map

The Kansas River flows through this corner of northeast Kansas, shaping the geography of Topeka and its eastern surroundings. North of the river, the settlement of Grantville sits amidst a network of rural routes including NE Calhoun Bluff Rd and 21st St. This area is particularly rich for local history research, featuring the Grantville Cem and the Old Grantville Cem located near the small drainage of Little Muddy Cr. South of the riverbank, the communities of Tecumseh and Spencer are situated along the plains, while the Philip Billard Municipal Airport occupies the land where the Shunganunga Creek and its old channel converge with the primary river valley. Numerous smaller waterways like Whetstone Cr and Stinson Cr carve through the landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns that defined local land use and development.
