About this map

The quiet rural landscape of Elk County is defined by its network of winding prairie streams, including West Rainbow Creek, East Rainbow Creek, and several branches of the Duck Creek system. The map captures the small community of Buxton and the area around Upola, where the local road grid intersects a complex topography of drainage basins and creek beds.

For those researching family history, several prominent burial grounds are documented, such as Upola Cemetery in the west and Butner Cemetery to the northeast. Mount Pleasant Cemetery sits centrally near South Duck Creek, providing a focal point for the surrounding farmsteads. The inclusion of Bonner Field and the detailed numbering of rural routes, like Buxton RD and 379 RD, illustrates the late-twentieth-century infrastructure of this Kansas agricultural region.
