About this map

Butler serves as the focal point of this Bates County survey, showcasing the town's organized street grid and its connection to the surrounding Missouri prairie. The map documents the residential and commercial layout of the community, from N Main St to the southern reaches near Butler Recreational Lake. Just to the north, the small settlement of Passaic is situated along the main transportation corridor, which remains the primary artery for the region's agricultural and light industrial activity.

Prominent geographical landmarks including Long Mound and Round Mound rise above the drainage basins of Big Deer Cr and Mound Br, providing a sense of the local topography. For those researching family history, the map precisely locates several burial grounds, such as Oak Hill Cemetery on the edge of town, and more remote sites like Glass Cemetery and Nichols Cemetery. The area's infrastructure is further detailed by the presence of Butler Memorial Airport, reflecting the town's role as a local aviation and transit hub.
