About this map

The confluence of Butler, Cowley, and Elk counties defines this rural landscape, where the headwaters of the Grouse Creek drainage system carve a series of draws and ridges. Settlement is sparse and localized around the small communities of Glen Crouse and Glen. The geographic center of local history on this sheet is the Grouse Cem, situated near the intersection of 321st Rd and SE Butts Rd, which serves as a primary landmark for genealogists tracing family ties to this corner of the Flint Hills. The drainage pattern is intricate, with numerous named tributaries including Franklin Cr, Riley Cr, and Ferguson Cr feeding into the larger Grouse Creek valley. The road network remains largely a grid of unpaved section-line routes like SE 230th St and Flinthills Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching character of the region.
