2009 Map of Lake Wabaunsee

About this map

Lake Wabaunsee serves as the focal point of this northern Kansas landscape, formed by the Eskridge City Dam at the head of a winding drainage system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Rock Creek, Locust Creek, and the uniquely named One Hundred and Forty-two Mile Creek. This 2009 survey reflects a rural environment where land use is etched into the road names, with routes like Wildau Ranch Ln and Wheat Ranch Rd hinting at the agricultural legacy of the region. Local landmarks such as Gun Barrel Hill rise above the creeks, while a grid of county roads provides access to the scattered homesteads and ranches. The map documents the area's transition toward residential lakeside living along W Flint Hills Dr and Lakeshore Dr, contrasting with the more isolated reaches of Hungry Hollow Rd to the east.
