2015 Map of Lane

About this map

Pottawatomie Creek defines the local topography of this eastern Kansas landscape, joined by tributaries like Mound Creek and Mosquito Creek. The settlement of Lane serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of several county boundaries, including Franklin, Miami, Anderson, and Linn. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several burial sites including Lane Cemetery, Needham Cemetery, Green Valley Cemetery, and the Spring Grove Quaker Cemetery. These sites are often the last standing indicators of early rural communities. The naming of John Brown Highway in the north provides a direct link to the region's prominent role in the Kansas territorial period. The map further documents local landmarks like Dunn Field and various branches such as Hahn Branch and Sac Branch.
