2012 Map of Louisville

About this map

Rock Cr and Vermillion Cr drain the eastern Pottawatomie County landscape, where the rural character of Kansas is defined by a grid of section-line roads and family-named landmarks. The area around Louisville Rd is anchored by historical burial sites including the Old County Farm Cem and the Louisville Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the region. Near the southeastern corner of the survey, the Red Vermillion Crossing marks a significant point along the drainage of Vermillion Cr, while Elm Slough provides a distinctive marshy contrast to the surrounding agricultural uplands. Many roads, such as Pioneer Rd and Wagon Wheel Rd, preserve the nomenclature of 19th-century transit, even as the landscape evolved into the modern era.
