2016 Map of Maple Hill

About this map

Maple Hill and the smaller settlement of Vera serve as the primary hubs of this landscape along the Wabaunsee Co and Shawnee Co line. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Mill Creek, which cuts deep oxbows through the center of the map before nearing its confluence with the Kansas River in the northeast. The presence of features like Buffalo Mound and Tabor Hill provides a clear view of the rolling topography typical of this region of Kansas. Transportation and local history are etched into the grid by named thoroughfares such as Waterman Crossing Rd and Willmett Crossing Rd, which likely recall historical ford sites. Genealogy researchers can find the Freeman Cem situated near Cattleman RD, while various creek branches including Turkey Cr, Dog Cr, and Johnson Cr drain the surrounding hills into the larger valley system.
