2012 Map of Bolton

About this map

Elk City Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Montgomery County landscape, where the waters meet a network of rural section-line roads and rolling terrain. The settlement of Bolton serves as a central point along the highway, while the small community of Blake sits to the east near the banks of Rock Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its agricultural foundations and well-established aviation facilities, including the Independence Municipal Airport and the private Patterson Farms Airport. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating rural burial grounds such as Quaker Cem, Highland Center Cem, and Harrisonville Cem. Distinctive elevations like Bald Mound and Walker Mound rise above the drainage basins of Onion Cr and Chetopa Cr, providing a clear view of the topographical character of the southeastern Kansas plains.
