2012 Map of Lone Star

About this map

Worden, Lone Star, and Pleasant Grove anchor this Douglas County landscape, where the agricultural grid of the Kansas plains is etched with a network of local roads and creek drainages. The area is marked by a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cem, Worden Cem, and Bethel Cem, which provide a geographic foundation for genealogical research. The northern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Washington Cr and the recreation-centered waters of Lone Star Lake. This 2012 survey also documents a surprising density of small aviation facilities, such as Michael's Airport and Norris Airport, illustrating how private flight integrates into the rural layout. Waterways like W Fork Tauy Cr and Chicken Cr cut across the section lines, shaping the placement of the farms and cemeteries that have defined this region for generations.
