2009 Map of Keats

About this map

Wildcat Creek meanders eastward toward the outskirts of Manhattan, anchoring a landscape defined by agricultural research and small community centers in the early twenty-first century. The rural character of the region is punctuated by specialized land use, including the Kansas State Horticulture Farm and the Ashland Agronomy Farm situated near the Kansas River in Ashland Bottoms. Further west, the map details the small unincorporated communities of Keats and Elm Hollow Corner, providing a record of the road networks and property distributions that link these settlements to the growing municipal influence of Manhattan.
