About this map

Beaumont serves as the focal point of this Butler County landscape, situated along the border of Butler and Greenwood counties. The area is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the S Br Little Walnut River and Nicholas Cr, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain. The town itself retains its distinctive character with the presence of the Beaumont Hotel Airport, a unique aviation landmark where planes have historically taxied down the street to reach the hotel.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several rural burial grounds, including Little Walnut Glencoe Cem to the northwest, and Butts Cem and Beaumont Cem closer to the settlement. The map captures a transition between open range and the grid of section roads like Tallgrass Rd and SE Flinthills Rd, illustrating the persistence of ranching and rural aviation in this corner of the Kansas prairie.
