2014 Map of Butler South

About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River meanders through the southern half of this Bates County landscape, defining the low-lying terrain of Negro Bend. To the north, the outskirts of Butler show a network of residential and recreational developments, including Kennedy Lake, Christy Lake, and the Butler Recreational Lake. The land between the river and the city is a complex system of hydraulic engineering, marked by the Miami Drainage Ditch and the Bates County Drainage Ditch, which manage the flow of various tributaries like Miami Cr and Possum Br. Centrally located, Fairview Cemetery stands as a point of interest for family historians, while Monteith Junction sits at a critical intersection of the local transportation corridors and high-volume routes like the US-71 Outer Loop.
