2018 Map of Midland

About this map

Lawrence sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the Kansas River valley meets the rolling uplands of Douglas, Jefferson, and Leavenworth counties. The river plains are anchored by the Lawrence Municipal Airport and the riparian corridor of Mud Cr, while the smaller settlement of Midland occupies a strategic position north of the main city center. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by a dense grid of rural roads such as Wild Horse Rd and State Ave that service family homesteads and local landmarks like Maple Grove Cem. Further north, the elevation rises toward State Lake and the drainage basin of Ninemile Cr. The map illustrates the convergence of three counties, showing how modern infrastructure has integrated the historical agricultural tracts surrounding the Lawrence metropolitan area.
