About this map

The confluence of the Kansas River and the Big Blue River anchors this 2022 survey of Manhattan, Kansas. The landscape is defined by the academic and civic core of the region, prominently featuring the extensive grounds of Kansas State University, Manhattan Christian College, and the Manhattan-Area Technical College. Near the center of town, the Riley County Courthouse stands as a focal point of local administration, while the nearby Sunset Cem provides a genealogical record of the city's residents.

Beyond the urban center, the terrain transitions into the fertile agricultural lands of Moehlman Bottoms and Ashland Bottoms to the south. Prominent topographical features like Bluemont Hill, Rock Hill, and Prospect Hill overlook the river valleys. To the north, the area around Rocky Ford shows the transition toward the recreation-rich lands near Tuttle Creek Blvd, while Saint Patricks Cem marks a point of interest on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
