1957 Map of Lone Star

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lone Star Lake and the winding course of Washington Creek dominate this mid-century landscape south of Lawrence. The area is characterized by a high density of rural institutions that suggest a deeply rooted agricultural community, including schools like Willow Springs Sch and Union Sch alongside a significant number of family and community burial grounds such as Flory Cem and Ulrich Cem. The small settlements of Lone Star, Worden, and Pleasant Grove serve as local anchors, connected by a network of section-line roads. At Worden, the map notes a local Town Hall, a rare specific designation for a rural hub in this era. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Chicken Creek and the West Fork Tauy Creek, illustrating how the Kansas prairie is etched by small waterways that dictated the placement of early homesteads and churches like Brethren Ch.
