2018 Map of Buxton

About this map

The boundary between Elk, Wilson, and Montgomery counties defines the rural landscape of this 2018 survey. The settlement of Buxton serves as a central point, situated along a grid of namesake roads like Buxton Rd and Chase Rd. To the west, the small community of Upola is found near the intersection of RD 30 and Harvest Rd, accompanied by the Upola Cem. The area is heavily defined by its drainage network, with Middle Duck Cr and W Rainbow Cr carving through the agricultural terrain. Genealogists can locate several burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Butner Cem in the north and the Mount Pleasant Cem near the prominent rise of Mount Pleasant. This map captures the persistent rural character of the Kansas plains, showing the interplay between local section lines and natural watercourses like Hickory Cr and Bachelor Cr.
