2018 Map of Richland

About this map

The Wakarusa River valley southeast of Topeka defines this portion of Shawnee County, showing a landscape of rolling terrain carved by numerous tributaries. Small rural communities like Watson and agricultural hubs are connected by a grid of section-line roads, including SE Shawnee Heights Rd and SE Croco Rd. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several local burial grounds such as Bauer Cem, Emmanuel Cem, and Richland Cem. Evidence of mid-century aviation infrastructure appears at the Sunset Strip Airpark and Starshire Farm Airport. Watercourses like Stinson Cr, Tecumseh Cr, and Deer Cr illustrate the drainage patterns into the primary river valley, while the presence of Camp Creek Rd near the southern boundary suggests the historical importance of the winding Camp Cr.
