2015 Map of Lasita

About this map

Lasita sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape, marking a rural crossroads on the boundary between Clay and Riley Counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage of West Fancy Creek and Otter Cr, which carve through the plains of northern Kansas. This survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evident in the distribution of long-established burial grounds including Green Cem, Fancy Creek Cem, May Day Cem, and Ebenezer Cem. The presence of May Day Spring in the northeast corner highlights the importance of natural water sources in this region. The road network, composed of routes like Lasita Rd and Co Hwy 378, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly division of the prairie for farming and homesteading that has persisted since the late 19th century.
