2015 Map of Fort Scott

About this map

Fort Scott serves as the focal point of this Eastern Kansas landscape, where the confluence of military history and agricultural development is clearly visible. The preservation of the Fort Scott National Historic Site near the Marmaton River anchors the downtown grid, which is surrounded by small communities like Edward and Godfrey. The map details a dense network of local cemeteries, such as Saint Marys Cem and Oak Grove Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogical research in Bourbon County. To the south, Lake Fort Scott and Wolverine Cr break the pattern of section-line roads like Indian Rd and Hackberry Rd. The presence of the Ft Scott Community Coll indicates the area's continued role as a regional educational and civic center.
