2012 Map of Webster Dam

About this map

The Webster Dam controls the flow of the S Fork Solomon River in this Rooks County landscape, creating the expansive Webster Reservoir that dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey documents a region defined by its water management and recreational development, featuring numerous specialized camping zones such as the Mushroom Camping Area and Eagle Landing Campground. The surrounding terrain is organized by a rigid grid of rural roads, including F Rd and N Rd, which navigate the drainages of Sand Cr and Ash Cr. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of the Mount Vernon Cemetery and Webster Cemetery, while the varied terrain around Lost Cr suggests the natural character of the Kansas plains prior to the mid-century engineering projects that reshaped the river valley.
