1950 Map of Lawrence West

About this map

The University of Kansas grounds and the western expansion of Lawrence dominate the eastern edge of this mid-century landscape. To the west, the townships of Kanwaka, Wakarusa, and Clinton reveal a rural infrastructure defined by a high density of country schools, including Brackett Sch, Sigel Sch, and School No 6. This concentration of educational landmarks suggests a well-distributed agrarian population just prior to the broader consolidation of rural districts.
