2012 Map of Wilson

About this map

The city of Wilson anchors this landscape in central Kansas, positioned near the northern banks of the winding Smoky Hill River. By the early 21st century, the town's grid is well-established, centered around Saline St and extending toward the Wilson Airport on its western edge. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by several watercourses including Wilson Cr, Coal Cr, and Blood Cr, which carve through the plains to meet the river. Genealogists will find significant local history in the three distinct burial grounds: Wilson Cem, Old Wilson Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem to the northeast. The map illustrates a transition between the dense residential blocks of the town and the vast network of rural routes such as Homer Bunker Rd and 4 Corners Rd that serve the surrounding agricultural land.
