About this map

Williamsburg serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the local road network radiates outward across the Kansas countryside. The map traces the historical path of Old Hwy 50 and follows numerous watercourses that define the drainage of the area, including Mill Creek, Coal Creek, and East Branch Tequa Creek. To the southwest, the settlement of Silkville stands as a point of local historical interest, connected to the larger township by a grid of named rural routes such as California Rd and Arkansas Rd.

Family history researchers will find the locations of Mount Hope Cemetery and Middle Creek Cemetery clearly marked, providing essential geographic context for the region's early residents. The terrain is further characterized by the presence of an Old Channel near Middle Creek, suggesting the natural shifts in the landscape over time. This survey preserves the exact placement of homesteads and agricultural infrastructure at the close of the first decade of the 2000s.
