About this map

Burr Oak serves as the primary hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding paths of White Rock Cr and Limestone Cr. The map details the residential layout of the town, from Main St to Kansas St, providing a clear view of the community's structure. Southward, the smaller settlement of Otego sits along S Rd, marking a secondary point of activity amidst the agricultural sections.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Burr Oak Cem, Baker Cem, and the West Lutheran Cem further east. The drainage patterns of Elm Cr and Porcupine Cr illustrate the natural topography that has influenced land use in Jewell County for generations, while the persistence of the Public Land Survey System is evident in the township and range boundaries of t2s r9w and its neighbors.
