About this map

Longton serves as the primary hub of this Elk County landscape, situated along the southern bend of the Elk River. The town's grid, featuring streets like 2nd St and 6th St, is bordered to the north by the Longton Cemetery. This area reflects the region's industrial heritage through the Longton Oil and Gas Field, which occupies a significant portion of the central terrain. The rural landscape is defined by an extensive network of tributaries, including Painterhood Creek and Hitchen Creek, which feed into the main river valley.

To the north, the small settlement of Busby and the nearby Busby Cemetery mark a secondary point of historical interest. The map meticulously documents the section-line road system that organizes the agricultural land, such as 114 Rd and 503 Rd. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and drainage patterns that have shaped the development of southern Kansas, from the oil fields to the riverfront at Hickory Creek.
