2018 Map of Perry

About this map

Perry Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters contained by a dam near Thompsonville and the Delaware River outlet. To the south, the Kansas River carves a broad valley through the border of Jefferson and Douglas Counties, supporting a string of communities along the Kansas Capitol Trl. The map details the historic settlement patterns of this river corridor, from the established town of Lecompton to smaller locales like Newman, Grover, and Medina. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Maple Grove - Lecompton Cem and Mount Calvary Cem. The southern edge is defined by the community of Big Springs and the path of Old Hwy 40, illustrating the layering of modern infrastructure over older transport routes like the Kansas Capitol Trl.
