About this map

The Walnut River and Little Walnut River define the eastern landscape of this Butler County region, converging just south of the established street grid of Douglass. The town serves as a primary hub for the surrounding agricultural community, where a network of section-line roads like SW 160th St and SW Hillwood Rd crisscross the prairie. Smaller hamlets such as Salter appear to the north, while various family and community burial grounds, including Dunlap Cemetery, Rose Hill Cemetery, Friends Cemetery, and Richland Cemetery, are scattered across the landscape, marking the history of local settlement.

Waterways like Eightmile Creek and Crooked Creek meander through the western half of the territory, influencing the placement of rural residences and access roads. The transition from the more developed blocks in Douglass to the open fields of the Kansas plains is clearly delineated by the U.S. Geological Survey, providing a clear record of the area's rural character during the first decade of the 21st century.
