About this map

The University of Kansas dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, overlooking the westward-flowing Wakarusa River. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of Douglas County before modern expansion, where the townships of Kanwaka and Wakarusa are dotted with a high density of one-room schoolhouses. Notable educational sites include Sigel Sch, Kanwaka Sch, and Washington Creek Sch, indicating the distributed nature of the community's early social life.
