2019 Map of Burton

About this map

Burton serves as the primary hub of this central Washington County landscape, where the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and the local street grid defines the town's footprint. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Rocky Cr, Indian Cr, and Mayfield Cr, which weave through the agricultural terrain toward several private water bodies such as Nelms Lake and Mitchell Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds. Five distinct cemeteries, including Oak Hill Cem, Bethany Cem, and Hall Cem, are scattered across the landscape, marking the historical settlement patterns of the region. To the northeast, the smaller community of Longpoint anchors the area near the junction of several rural routes, while the broader topography is shaped by the subtle drainage basins of E Mill Cr and Kerr Cr.
