2018 Map of Lane

About this map

Pottawatomie Creek and its many tributaries, including Mosquito Cr and Sac Br, define the landscape of eastern Kansas at the borders of Franklin, Miami, and Anderson counties. The settlement of Lane serves as a local hub, situated near the winding creek and surrounded by a network of rural roads such as Virginia Rd and Wyoming Rd. Further south, the town of Greeley anchors the lower portion of the sheet. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are scattered across the township, most notably the Spring Grove Quaker Cem and Green Valley Cem. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, with long-established property lines reflected in roads like John Brown Hwy and Edgerton Rd. The topography is marked by gentle slopes leading toward the primary creek beds, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like Lane Cem.
