About this map

Lincoln Center and the neighboring settlement of Goldenrod anchor this survey of the northern Kansas plains, where the meandering Saline River defines the lower terrain. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Spillman Cr and Lost Cr, which feed into the river valley. The civic layout of the area is well-established, centered on the grid of Lincoln Center with its historical street names like E Lincoln Ave and E College Ave.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established landmarks such as Lincoln Cem and Saint Patrick's Cem, while the Lincoln Municipal Airport highlights the region's modern infrastructure. The map reveals a transition between the organized agriculture of the township sections and the natural course of waterways like Bullfoot Cr and Yauger Cr, providing a clear look at how human settlement and transportation corridors have adapted to the state's drainage patterns.
