2009 Map of Williamstown

About this map

Williamstown sits as a central hub north of the winding Kansas River in this 2009 survey of Douglas County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Buck Creek, Stone Horse Creek, and Mud Creek, which drain the agricultural lands between elevated points like Nolan Hill. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Holliday Cemetery and Underwood Cemetery, providing essential data for genealogical research in this rural corridor. South of the river, the settlement of Lake View and the banks of Baldwin Creek mark the transition into the outskirts of Lawrence. The map documents an intricate network of rural routes, such as Nemaha Rd and Childers Wagon Wheel Rd, reflecting a landscape that maintains its rural character while being influenced by the proximity of larger neighboring communities.
