On your larger screen devices, right click on the map to open in a new window and see the details. The resolution is good enough!

Now for me, I quickly tire of the "Ye..." labels, but there are some humorous labels on this gem.

Enjoy!

At the very top of the map, just left of the Chi Omega fountain circle is the campus observatory, which used to be at ground level, before Lindley Hall got built and they moved it to the roof of Lindley.

In case you ever wondered, as I did...

The Outllook
Chancellor's Residence, The University of Kansas

1532 Lilac Lane, just east of Blake Hall and south of Miller Scholarship Hall.

Gifted to The University in 1939 to become the Chancellor's Residence.

The original Chancellor's Residence (at the bottom of the 1926 campus map in the OP) was at 1345 Louisiana Street, just east of Spooner Hall.
The home became a scholarship hall (Carruth), but was declared structurally unsound and demolished in 1953.
Today the location is the site for Douthart Scholarship Hall
