1980 Map of Wathena
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Missouri River defines the landscape of this 1980 orthophoto quadrangle, winding through a complex network of active channels and abandoned oxbows along the Kansas-Missouri border. The settlement of Wathena sits at the base of the western bluffs, while Elwwod occupies the flat floodplain to the east, illustrating how the river's historical path influenced early development in Doniphan County. Evidence of the valley's hydrological history is most visible in the large meander scar containing Browning Lake, which sits tucked within a sharp bend of the main river. To the northwest, the small settlement of Blair is positioned near the upland ridges, where the terrain shifts from the broad agricultural bottoms to more broken, wooded topography.
