2009 Map of Burr Oak

About this map

The town of Burr Oak serves as the primary hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and several meandering waterways. The community is laid out along Main St and Jackson St, situated near the confluence of Burr Oak Creek and White Rock Creek. Further south, the smaller settlement of Otego lies along Otego Rd, providing a clear record of the area's secondary population centers during this era. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites scattered across the township, including Baker Cemetery to the west, Burr Oak Cemetery to the east of the main town, and the Lutheran Cemetery located further south near 120 Rd. The terrain is drained by a network of seasonal streams, notably Porcupine Creek, Limestone Creek, and Elm Creek, which dictate the local topography and historical agricultural patterns.
