About this map

Keighley and the rural stretches of Butler County are defined by the convergence of the Little Walnut River drainage system. The settlement of Keighley sits along the section line near Eagle Cr, serving as a focal point for a landscape dominated by agriculture and petroleum extraction. Evidence of the region’s economic heritage is clear in the presence of the Keighley Oil Field and the Brandt-Sensenbaugh Oil Field to the south, highlighting the long-standing role of the energy industry in this part of Kansas.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established landmarks such as Harmony Cem and Quito Cem, which dot the upland plains between the numerous waterways. The map details the intricate path of the Little Walnut River and its primary tributaries, including the N Br Little Walnut River and S Br Little Walnut River, illustrating how the stream network dictates the layout of local roads like SE Munson Hill Rd and SE Satchell Creek Rd.
