1950 Map of Lawrence East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lawrence serves as the hub of this mid-century survey, positioned at the confluence of the Kansas River and a dense network of major railroads. The city's academic and social infrastructure is well-defined, showing the sprawling University of Kansas campus and the historic Haskell Institute alongside local landmarks like the Court House, City Hall, and several neighborhood schools including Lincoln Sch and Cordley Sch. To the north, Bismarck Grove sits near the Union Pacific line, while the southern landscape is dominated by the winding path of the Wakarusa River and the prominent elevation of Blue Mound. The river valleys show a mix of industrial progress and rural persistence, with the Kansas Toll Road Turnpike cutting across the northern reaches while small communities like Sibleyville and Noria maintain their footing in the outlying river plains.
