About this map

Beaumont serves as the focal point of this Kansas landscape, positioned at a critical junction of the St Louis San Francisco railroad. The town's local history is anchored by the Beaumont Cem and Butts Cem, while its mid-century infrastructure includes a dedicated Landing Field. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including the Little Walnut River and its western tributary, Nicholas Creek, which cut through the townships of Rosalia, Glencoe, and Hickory.

A distinct balance of agriculture and early industry is evident, with several Gravel Pit sites and an Oil Well scattered among the uplands. Social and community markers like Camp Wiedemann on Spring Creek and the Little Walnut Ch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family footprints in Butler and Greenwood counties. The map captures the region before extensive modern development, preserving the original rural road grid and waterway crossings.
