About this map

The Kansas River serves as a central corridor for this 2016 survey, with the Delaware River feeding into it from the north. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of Perry Lake, where the Dam Rd and Spillway Rd mark the southern boundary of the reservoir. Settlements such as Perry, Lecompton, and Big Springs are established points of interest, while smaller locales like Thompsonville, Newman, Medina, and Grover dot the rural areas between the water and the rising terrain of Round Mound.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Oak Ridge, Mount Calvary, and Medina cemeteries. The transition between Jefferson, Douglas, and Shawnee counties is clearly marked as the Kansas Capitol Trl winds through the hills. This modern map provides a look at the contemporary road network, from Interstate 70 near Coon Point to the local section roads that grid the fertile river valley.
