2022 Map of Lasita

About this map

Green and the small settlement of Lasita sit along the border of Clay and Riley counties, where the high prairie begins to break into the drainage systems of the Kansas river basin. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of several streams, including West Fancy Creek and the North Fork Otter Creek, which carve winding paths through the upland terrain. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of several community anchors, such as May Day Cem near the northern boundary and Green Cem to the west. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by these long-standing sites, including the Ebenezer Cem and Fancy Creek Cem. The network of section-line roads, such as Walnut Rd and Valleyview Rd, reflects the original land-survey grid that organized these farming communities, while natural landmarks like May Day Spring indicate the importance of water sources in this environment.
