2009 Map of El Dorado NW

About this map

Hopkins serves as a central reference point in this portion of Butler County, where the agricultural landscape is divided by an orderly grid of country roads. To the south of the settlement, Baker Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research, while the northern edge of the map reveals the industrial footprint of the Hazlett Oil Field. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Fourmile Creek and Rock Creek, which meander across the plains, influencing the placement of local homesteads and transportation routes like Nw Shumway Rd and Nw Hopkins Switch Rd. This document captures the rural character of the region in the early 21st century, showing how modern infrastructure follows the long-established section lines of the Kansas prairie.
