About this map

The Kansas River divides this mid-century capital landscape, where the urban grid of Topeka expands rapidly into neighborhoods like Highland Park and Oakland. At the heart of the city, the State Capitol and Federal Bldg anchor a dense municipal core, while the sprawling campus of Washburn University and the Winter Veterans Hospital complex define the southwestern developments. The map reveals a high concentration of social and educational institutions, from the State School for Boys in the north to St Vincents Orphanage and the State Hospital.
