2015 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as the central hub of this Kansas landscape, where a traditional grid of streets like W College St and E 7th St anchors the surrounding agricultural section lines. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mill Cr and its tributaries, including Plum Cr and Camp Cr, which carve through the prairie. For those tracing family histories in Washington County, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Emmons Cem in the northeast and Mount Pleasant Cem to the west. A notable natural landmark, Mormon Spring, is located south of the main settlement near Prairie Rd, suggesting the historical importance of reliable water sources in this region. The map also documents the transition from named town streets to the rural road network, where routes like Quivira Rd and Rainbow RD facilitate movement between the homesteads and fields.
