2010 Map of Burns

About this map

The town of Burns anchors the northeast corner of this Marion County landscape, showing a classic Great Plains grid at the intersection of Zebulon Rd and Cemetery Ln. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the East Branch Whitewater River and its tributary, May Branch, which meander through an orderly township-and-range road network. Local history is etched into the names of these routes, including NW Hopkins Switch Rd, which hints at the area’s railroad heritage, and NW Purity Springs Rd. Farther south, the secluded Clifford Cemetery sits along NW Ohio Street Rd, serving as a quiet genealogical marker for the families who settled this agricultural region. The map captures the enduring rural character of the Kansas prairie, where the modern landscape remains tied to the section lines established over a century ago.
