About this map

Milford Lake dominates the central landscape of this Geary and Dickinson County boundary area, where the impounded waters of the Republican River have reshaped the historical terrain. The settlement of Alida sits near the western shore, serving as a focal point for researchers interested in the rural communities that existed alongside these river valleys. The map reveals a dense network of local routes like Curtis Creek Rd and Old Milford Rd, which connect the upland sections to the water's edge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, including Alida Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Good Hope Cem, alongside the Alida Zion Evangelical Cem. These sites, along with the northern outskirts of Junction City, provide a clear picture of the historical settlement patterns before and after the reservoir's creation. The drainage of Curtis Cr and Goose Cr further detail the local topography and watershed.
