About this map

The Little Walnut River meanders across this corner of Butler County, defining the agricultural and industrial character of the region. The town of Leon serves as the primary hub, showing a grid of residential streets like Vine St and South St just north of the river's bend. To the west, the smaller settlement at Pickrell Corner sits at a major highway junction, illustrating the evolution of local transit.

Evidence of the mid-continent energy economy is prominent, with several named production areas such as the Leon Oil Field and the Smock-Sluss Oil Field dotting the landscape. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for the Butts-Wakefield Cemetery, Garrison Cemetery, Leon Cemetery, and Bogle Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the rural sections and provide a physical link to the area's early farmstead families.
