About this map

The Little Walnut River meanders through this portion of Butler County, shaping a landscape of agricultural drainage and small rural communities. The map details several established settlements including Gordon, Bois d' Arc, and Bloomington, each positioned along the section-line road network. Toward the southern edge, the town of Douglass appears alongside Douglass Cem, while the smaller hamlet of Smileyville sits further east.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several rural burial sites, such as the Little Walnut Cem and High Prairie Cem. The presence of LMN 120 Airport and recreation or transit points like Bannon Field and Alley Field illustrate the intersection of traditional Kansas farming life with modern local infrastructure. The terrain is further defined by numerous small waterways, including Muddy Creek, Chigger Cr, and Swisher Br, which carve out the subtle relief of the prairie.
