2018 Map of Burr Oak

About this map

Burr Oak sits near the northern edge of this North Central Kansas landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several local watercourses. The town plan is clearly visible, featuring a network of streets including Main St, Kansas St, and Lincoln St. To the south lies the small community of Otego, situated where S Rd meets Otego Rd. The terrain is deeply etched by a system of creeks such as White Rock Cr, Porcupine Cr, and Elm Cr, which cut through the high plains. For those tracing family histories or early land use, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Burr Oak Cem on the outskirts of town and the more remote Baker Cem to the west. Farther south, the West Lutheran Cem serves as a notable landmark along 130 Rd, reflecting the heritage of the early settlers in Jewell County.
