2012 Map of Baxter Springs

About this map

The Spring River and its major tributaries, Shoal Cr and Brush Cr, define the drainage of this Cherokee County landscape just north of the Oklahoma border. The area is characterized by a high density of small burial grounds that point to the historical footprint of early settlements, including the Boston Mills - Cox Cem near the northern boundary and the Quaker Valley Cem further south. The community of Riverton sits at the confluence of the river and creek systems, serving as a central hub between Empire City and Lowell.
