About this map

Pottawatomie Creek meanders through this eastern Kansas landscape, defining the rural geography surrounding the town of Lane. The settlement is positioned near the junction of several drainage systems, including the Hahn Branch and Mosquito Creek complex. This 2009 survey highlights a strictly grid-based road network, typical of the regional land management, which is only interrupted by the natural curves of the waterways and the diagonal passage of Us HWY 169 in the south near Greeley.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-established burial sites, including Lane Cemetery, Needham Cemetery, and Green Valley Cemetery, which serve as primary landmarks for the outlying homesteads. The map illustrates a transitional period of rural development where traditional names like John Brown Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd persist alongside modern numeric designations, anchoring the area's agricultural identity.
