About this map

The Kansas River serves as the prominent divider between the southern edge of Jefferson County and the northern reach of Douglas County in this 2016 survey. Near the center, the settlement of Williamstown sits just north of the river, positioned between the drainages of Stone House Cr and Buck Creek. The landscape here is characterized by the wide river valley and the rising terrain to the north, punctuated by Nolan Hill and the small Stonehenge Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Underwood Cem near Williamstown and the Holliday Cem further south towards the river bank. The map tracks the rural road network including Republic Rd and Buck Creek Rd, along with the neighboring community of Perry to the west. This record documents the enduring rural character of the river valley, where names like Baldwin Cr and Plum Cr define the intricate drainage patterns feeding into the main channel.
