About this map

The small settlement of Buxton sits at the junction of Chase Rd and Buxton Rd, serving as a central point in this rural landscape at the border of Wilson and Elk counties. To the west, the community of Upola is situated near Upola Cem and Hickory Cr, highlighting the quiet residential and agricultural history of the region. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the various branches of Duck Cr and the divided flows of W Rainbow Cr and E Rainbow Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, such as Mount Pleasant Cem and Butner Cem, which are tucked away along the county's backroads. The mapping of range and township lines, including t30s r14e, provides the necessary framework for land patent research in this corner of Kansas, where the prairie is gridded by naming-convention roads like Killdeer and Junebug.
