About this map

Keighley and the surrounding Butler County countryside are defined by a complex network of drainage creeks and tributaries that feed the regional river system. The landscape is deeply carved by the N Br Little Walnut River and its counterpart, the S Br Little Walnut River, which transition from north to south across the survey area. These waterways are joined by numerous smaller streams, including Eagle Cr, Honey Cr, and Stony Br, illustrating the importance of natural drainage to this agricultural region.

Evidence of early rural community life is anchored by several landmark locations. The small settlement of Quito and the nearby Quito Cem provide vital reference points for genealogists, as does the Harmony Cem further east. The map records a dense grid of rural roads, such as SE Munson Hill Rd and Satchel Creek Rd, which link these isolated settlements and cemeteries to the larger transportation corridor of SE 110th St.
