About this map

Douglass serves as the primary hub in this portion of Butler County, situated where the Walnut River and Little Walnut River converge. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of these waterways and several significant tributaries, including Eightmile Cr and Polecat Cr. Settlement patterns follow a grid of rural roads such as SW Indiana Rd and SW Tawakoni Rd, connecting the town centers of Rose Hill and the small locality of Salter.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial grounds across the township, including Dunlap Cem, Rose Hill Cem, Friends Cem, and Richland Cem. These sites, along with the presence of the Butler Airpark, illustrate the transition from a traditional agrarian river valley to a modern rural-residential area. The map captures a detailed snapshot of the township and range boundaries that have organized this Kansas prairie for generations.
