2009 Map of Louisville

About this map

Louisville stands at the heart of this landscape, situated near the southern edge where Rock Slough Creek joins the broader drainage system of the region. The map preserves the historic path of the Oregon Trail Rd, reflecting the deep migration history of Pottawatomie County. Several burial grounds, including Old County Farm Cemetery and Pleasant Hill Cemetery, are distributed across the rural countryside, offering specific coordinates for genealogists and local historians. The eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of Vermillion Creek, which features the Red Vermillion Crossing, a significant waypoint for nineteenth-century travelers. This survey illustrates a grid of section roads like Wagon Wheel RD and Oxen RD that segment the prairie into agricultural plots, punctuated by the tributaries of Brush Creek and Adams Creek.
