2016 Map of Milford Dam

About this map

Milford Lake dominates this central Kansas landscape, where the waters of the Republican River are impounded northwest of Junction City. The map reveals a transition between the suburban expansion of the city and the rural grid of the surrounding townships. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the location of several historic burial grounds, including Alida Cem and Laid Cem near the lake’s western shore, as well as Saint Johns Cem and Laid-Upland Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Curtis Cr and Goose Cr define the dissected terrain of the area, while a rigid network of numbered section roads like 3600 Ave and 3000 Ave provides the primary infrastructure for the agricultural lands flanking the reservoir.
