USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Kansas River cuts a wide valley through the borderlands of Jefferson and Douglas Counties, where the alluvial floodplain meets the dissected uplands of the Rural and Kansas townships. This mid-century landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Union Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which parallel the river's winding course. The settlement of Williamstown sits at a strategic junction of rail and road, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farming community.
