2012 Map of Bartlett

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southeastern Kansas is meticulously detailed in this 2012 survey. Centered on the town of Bartlett, the grid of section roads like Rooks Rd and Scott Rd defines the prairie layout, while several family and community burial grounds, including Phillips Cem, Hackberry Cem, and Cecil Cem, provide essential anchor points for local genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Labette Cr and its tributaries, such as Hackberry Cr and Turkey Cr, meander through the landscape, influencing the placement of early homesteads and field boundaries. The small settlement of Big Hill appears in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, connected by a network of rural routes that have served the region's farming economy for generations. This map captures the intersection of natural watercourses like Town Cr with the rigid township and range system that organized this part of Labette County.
