About this map

Douglass and Rose Hill anchor this Kansas prairie landscape, situated near the confluence of the Walnut River and the Little Walnut River. This 2015 survey reveals a land defined by a geometric grid of rural roads and traditional township boundaries such as t28s r3e and t29s r4e. The area is notably marked by several historic burial grounds, including Dunlap Cem, Friends Cem, and Richland Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Butler County.

Waterways like Eightmile Cr and Polecat Cr meander through the agricultural plots, contrasting with the organized aviation activity at Butler Airpark. The presence of the small settlement of Salter and the grid-iron street plan of Douglass show the evolution of these towns along the river valley. The map documents a contemporary rural environment that maintains deep connections to its 19th-century settlement roots through these preserved landmarks and water features.
