How the 20-mile line was drawn
Distances come from the 2020 Census gazetteer points for each town. Lawrence (23.8 miles), Oskaloosa (23.9) and Lyndon (29.2) sit outside the circle, so they do not get pages here even though Topeka contractors often work there. Small towns inside the line without a page, such as Hoyt and Lecompton, are still inside the service area.
