2010 Map of Fort Scott

About this map

The Marmaton River winds across this Bourbon County landscape, framing the city of Fort Scott as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting numerous burial grounds such as the Fort Scott National Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery. Beyond the urban center, the survey tracks the southward progression of transit corridors through small settlements like Edward and Godfrey. The grid of rural roads, including Noble Rd and Indian Rd, delineates the agricultural character of the surrounding plains. Tributaries like Wolverine Creek and Lath Branch break the geometric regularity of the land, providing natural landmarks among the farmsteads and historic family cemeteries like Mayberry Cemetery and Clarksburg Cemetery.
