2016 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg serves as the primary hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainage systems. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential blocks of the town to the sprawling agricultural tracts defined by the Public Land Survey System. To the southwest lies Silkville, a site of notable historical experiments in communal living and industry. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Mill Cr and Middle Cr, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Middle Creek Cem in the northeast and Mount Hope Cem near the center of the quadrangle. The presence of the Old Channel Sac Creek indicates a landscape shaped by shifting watercourses, while major thoroughfares like John Brown Rd provide the modern framework for this longstanding rural community near the Franklin and Anderson County line.
