About this map

Lone Star and the surrounding rural townships of Douglas County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and upland cemeteries. This 2022 edition documents the quiet persistence of community anchors such as Pleasant Grove and Worden, where local history is preserved in sites like Worden Cem and the Flory-Pleasant Hill Cem. The landscape is etched by the drainage of Washington Cr and Chicken Creek, revealing the intricate topography that has shaped land use and road placement for generations.

Aviation enthusiasts and local researchers will find several private airstrips scattered across the quadrangle, including Michael's Airport and Norris Airport, reflecting the region's relationship with modern transport alongside traditional agriculture. From the Ulrich Cem in the northeast to Bethel-Harbour Cem in the southwest, the map serves as a detailed ledger of the family names and small settlements that continue to characterize this part of Kansas.
