2010 Map of Midland

About this map

The settlement of Midland and the Kansas River corridor define this Kansas landscape just north of Lawrence. This 2010 topographic survey documents a transition between suburban expansion and the agricultural heritage of Douglas County. The Lawrence Municipal Airport occupies the flat floodplain north of the river, while the terrain to the north is carved by numerous watercourses including Mud Creek, Ninemile Creek, and Pony Creek. Local history is anchored by the Hardy Oak Cemetery in the northwestern corner, surrounded by a dense grid of rural roads like Wise Rd and State Ave. The presence of State Lake in the northeast reflects the region's managed water resources, providing a contrast to the naturally meandering path of Kent Creek. This map captures the modern layout of rural residential lanes and established section lines that have organized this territory for generations.
