2012 Map of Lucas

About this map

Lucas serves as the central hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, where the intersection of Dorrance Lucas Rd and local thoroughfares like S Harvest St and N Wolf Ave define the small-town grid. The community is situated at a drainage divide between two significant water systems: the meandering Wolf Creek and its tributary E Fork Wolf Cr to the north, and Blue Stem Cr flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates a quiet prairie economy supported by infrastructure such as the Lucas Airport and the Lucas Wastewater Treatment Facility. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Lucas Cem located just north of the town center, while the grid of section roads, including Luray Rd and Fairport Rd, reflects the enduring agricultural organization of the Russell County countryside.
