About this map

The railroad hub at El Dorado serves as the focal point for this late nineteenth-century survey of Butler County. A dense network of competing rail lines defines the local economy and settlement pattern, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the St Louis Ft Scott and Wichita Railroad intersecting at the county seat. Smaller frontier stops like Schonholm and Pontiac appear along these transit corridors, while the established town of Augusta sits at the junction of Little Walnut Creek and the southern rail spurs. The landscape is organized into distinct townships such as Lincoln, Sycamore, and Glencoe, reflecting the systematic transition from open prairie to an agricultural and industrial landscape tied to the Missouri and Kansas markets via the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad.
