2012 Map of Buttermilk

About this map

Buttermilk serves as the primary focal point of this rural prairie landscape near the Kansas-Oklahoma border. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork Arkansas River and its varied tributaries, which carve drainage patterns across the terrain. A network of straight-line section roads and routes such as E0010 Rd provides a geometric contrast to the natural hydrology of the region. Local watercourses including Sheele Cr and Anderson Cr highlight the drainage system that supports this agricultural area. The map illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of the High Plains, where small communities like Buttermilk grew around reliable water sources and essential transit corridors.
