2016 Map of Waverly NW

About this map

Beto Junction serves as the focal point of this Eastern Kansas landscape, marking a significant crossroads where modern transit corridors meet legacy routes. The map documents the rural interface of the Osage Co and Coffey Co border, showing a transition from the structured township and range system to the natural curves of the drainage basin. Water shapes the terrain here, from the northwest corner where the edge of Melvern Lake is visible, to the winding paths of Frog Creek and Long Cr that carve through the prairie. Genealogists and local historians can trace the evolution of travel by comparing the path of Old State Hwy 50 against newer highway alignments, noting how the local road network persists along section lines such as S Lewelling Rd and S Jordan Rd.
