About this map

Clinton Lake dominates the western portion of this landscape, its expansive waters meeting the winding course of the Wakarusa River to the south. This modern survey illustrates the suburban expansion of western Lawrence into the Kansas countryside, where established family names and local history are preserved in several memorial sites. Genealogists may find interest in the Pioneer Cem or the Henry T Davis Cem, alongside the Adams School District 497 Cem in the northeast.

North of the river, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of residential streets and creek systems like Yankee Tank Cr and Baldwin Cr. To the south, the landscape remains more open toward Shank Hill and Richland Cem, with the smaller settlement of Kanwaka positioned at the western edge. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this growing college town area, from the Pinnacle Career Institute Lawrence to the numerous rural roads connecting the watersheds of Washington Creek.
