About this map

Walnut River and the Little Walnut River converge near the rural settlement of Gordon, defining the drainage patterns of this Butler County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of sectional roads and small agrarian communities, including Bois d' Arc and Bloomington. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Cumberland Cem, McCabe Cem, and Douglass Cem, which serve as permanent records of the region's early families.

Further south, the town of Douglass sits near the banks of Muddy Creek, where the local aviation history is marked by Alley Field and the LMN 120 Airport. The terrain is etched by numerous smaller tributaries like Swisher Br and Chigger Cr, which flow through the townships of t28s r4e and t29s r5e. This survey captures the modern road grid, from SW 140th St down to SW 220th St, alongside small named places like Smileyville.
