2012 Map of Mahaska

About this map

Mahaska sits at the northern edge of this Kansas landscape, a town defined by a tight grid of streets including S Main St, S Pine St, and Charles St. The surrounding countryside in Washington County follows a strict section-line road system, with routes like Arrowhead Rd and Bismark Rd cutting through the agricultural terrain. The drainage of the land is shaped by the southward flow of Myer Cr and Bowman Cr, which are joined by smaller tributaries such as Stanley Br and Gray Br. Genealogists will find the area's history anchored by the Mahaska Cem located just east of the main settlement and the more isolated Larabee Cem situated further south along Eagle Rd. The map illustrates a rural environment where local life is centered on the small township and its connection to the surrounding farmland.
