About this map

The village of Bartley serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Red Willow County, positioned along the northern bank of the Republican River. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply established agricultural community, anchored by the Bartley Post Office and a network of country schools that once served the outlying sections. Traces of local education history are scattered across the township, including Pleasant Hill School in the north and Walnut Grove School to the east.

Water management is a central theme of this terrain, dominated by the Red Willow Canal and an extensive series of reservoirs such as Dry Creek Reservoir 8-A and Dry Creek Reservoir 5-A. These irrigation and flood control systems parallel the meandering paths of Dry Creek and Richmond Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Mount Zion Cemetery, Dry Creek Cemetery, and the Bartley Cemetery situated just north of the village center.
