This image shows two sanitary survey maps of Topeka, Kansas, created in 1913 as part of "The Topeka Improvement Survey." Both maps are black-and-white and feature detailed street layouts of Topeka, accompanied by textual annotations explaining the two surveys.

  • Left Map: This map is labeled as "Private Wells and the City Water System, Topeka, 1913." It features small circular symbols and notes summarizing data related to private wells and water supply in the region. Annotations discuss soil conditions, contamination risks, and the distribution of private wells.

  • Right Map: This map is labeled as "Privies and the City Sewer System, Topeka, 1913." It focuses on the city’s sewer infrastructure, detailing privy locations and assessments of sewer connections. Comments outline problems related to sanitation and public health concerns caused by untreated waste in the city's drainage system.

Both maps are similar in layout but depict separate aspects of urban sanitation and infrastructure as part of the survey. At the bottom of each map, explanatory text describes the methodologies and findings relevant to the study. The documents illustrate early 20th-century efforts to analyze and improve urban sanitation systems in Topeka.

The image shows two maps titled "Sanitary Survey Maps, Topeka, Kansas," published in 1913. Both maps depict the layout of Topeka, Kansas, with detailed street grids. The left map is labeled "Private Wells and the City Water System, Topeka, 1913," and includes symbols indicating private wells such as solid circles for analyzed wells and open circles for unanalyzed wells.

The right map is labeled "Privies and the City Sewer System, Topeka, 1913," and distinguishes between sewer districts with solid lines and privy locations with "small circles." "Riverside District" and the "Warren District" are marked by large circles. There is a legend at the bottom of each map, explaining the symbols used. The maps were made under the direction of J. P. Hume and W. R. Adams. The maps are part of the Topeka Improvement Survey of 1913.
