About this map

The Kansas River flows through the heart of this landscape, separating the bottomlands of Jefferson County from the higher ground of Douglas County. In the years following World War II, the area remained defined by its river-valley agriculture and the heavy transit corridors of the Union Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The town of Perry serves as a local hub near the confluence of the Delaware River, while Lecompton sits on the southern bluffs. Rural life is anchored by local institutions such as Glenn Ch and the Greenwood Valley Sch. Notable historical markers including the Old Indian Bdy and the Delaware Reservation Boundary trace the legacy of earlier land divisions across the townships.
