2009 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington serves as the focal point of this Coffey County survey, situated along the meandering path of the Neosho River. The landscape is defined by the massive expanse of the Wolf Creek Reservoir to the northeast, which dominates the local hydrology and redirected the historic flow of Wolf Creek. In town, a structured grid of streets including Kennebec St and Housatonic St gives way to the more rural sections of the county. Several established burial grounds, such as Mount Hope Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research. The surrounding countryside is marked by a network of drainage systems like Rock Creek and Covey Run, alongside prominent local landmarks such as Jackrabbit Hill and Mathias Lake, reflecting a region deeply tied to its water resources and agricultural land divisions.
