About this map

The Fort Scott National Historic Site and the nearby Fort Scott National Cemetery dominate the urban core of Fort Scott, Kansas. This 2018 survey documents the city's modern footprint along the Marmaton River, where historically significant military and civil structures are preserved amidst a grid of residential and commercial streets. Beyond the main city limits, the map shows the smaller settlements of Edward and Godfrey situated along the primary north-south transportation corridor.

A dense network of rural cemeteries, including Oak Grove Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Clarksburg Cem, provides vital geographic markers for family historians. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Buck Run, Lath Br, and Moores Br, which cut through the township boundaries of T25S and T26S, illustrating how the natural drainage systems continue to influence the local road network and property lines in Bourbon County.
