USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The confluence of the Kansas River and Wakarusa River defines the landscape surrounding Lawrence, a hub of transit and commerce where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and Union Pacific RR intersect. This mid-1970s revision captures the region's hydraulic evolution, showcasing the expansion of Clinton Lake and the John Redmond Reservoir within the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge. Cold War-era infrastructure is prominent at Forbes AFB and the Sunflower Ordnance Works, reflecting the era's strategic footprint.
