About this map

Lawrence and its eastern surroundings are defined by the convergence of the Kansas River and the Wakarusa River, a landscape of fertile bottoms and rising bluffs. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the city's academic and cultural footprint, featuring the extensive grounds of the Univ of Kansas - Lawrence and the Haskell Indian Nations Univ. To the east of the city center, a dense cluster of memorial sites including Oak Hill Cem, Mount Calvary Catholic Cem, and Memorial Park Cem provides significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

Beyond the urban grid, the map follows the BNSF Railway corridor through the smaller settlements of Bismark Grove and Noria. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into more open terrain near Sibleyville, marked by the prominent elevation of Blue Mound. This map serves as a detailed record of the transport networks and educational institutions that have shaped Douglas County in the 21st century.
