2012 Map of Douglass

About this map

Douglass serves as the primary municipal anchor of this Butler County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Walnut River and Little Walnut River. The township's character is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including SW Tawakoni Rd and SW Prairie Creek Rd, which carve the prairie into large agricultural tracts. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistence of early rural communities through its detailed identification of local burial grounds. Genealogists can locate Dunlap Cem, Rose Hill Cem, Friends Cem, and Richland Cem, which remain scattered across the countryside near small settlements like Salter. The drainage patterns of Eightmile Cr and Polecat Cr dominate the western half of the map, while the eastern edge highlights the more significant riparian corridors that historically dictated the placement of the town site.
