2009 Map of Bush City

About this map

Bush City sits near the heart of this Anderson County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense grid of rural routes named for states, including Oregon Rd, Texas Rd, and Utah Rd. The drainage of the South Fork Pottawatomie Creek and its tributaries, Saline Creek and Sugar Creek, carves winding paths through the rectangular sections. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents the locations of Springfield Cemetery and Horn Cemetery, providing fixed points for family research in this agricultural region. The arrangement of roads and the persistence of these small burial grounds reflect a long-standing settlement pattern common across the Kansas plains, where small community hubs served the surrounding farmsteads.
