2018 Map of Lasita

About this map

Green and Lasita anchor this rural section of the Kansas prairie along the border of Clay and Riley counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage basins of several prominent local waterways, including Mall Cr flowing through the southwest and the winding path of West Fancy Creek in the north. This 2018 study details a dense network of sectional roads and historical landmarks that have served the farming community for generations. Several well-established burial grounds, such as Fancy Creek Cem, May Day Cem, and Green Cem, are distributed across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogists tracking early settler families. The presence of May Day Spring and the complex confluence of Otter Cr and N Fork Fancy Cr highlight the vital role of natural water sources in the region's agricultural development and settlement patterns.
