1950 Map of Lawrence West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The western expansion of Lawrence and the creation of Clinton Lake dominate this landscape, which transitioned from a rural agricultural district to a suburban and educational hub in the mid-20th century. The University of Kansas and its West Campus occupy the eastern ridge, overlooking the winding path of the Wakarusa River. A significant 1970s revision shows the newly flooded basin of the reservoir, submerged areas once defined by smaller tributaries like Rock Creek and Washington Creek.
