2010 Map of Marmaton

About this map

Marmaton and the nearby communities of Ronald and Hollister anchor this section of Bourbon County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Marmaton River. This 2010 survey illustrates a region shaped by managed water resources, from the significant Lake Fort Scott on the eastern edge to the Elm Creek Lake and Bourbon County Dam in the southwest. Local history is grounded in sites like the Marmaton Cemetery, while the presence of the Fort Scott Municipal Airport and multiple dams, including the Rock Creek Lake Dam and Fort Scott Municipal Dam, indicates the intersection of modern infrastructure with the natural drainage basins of Pawnee Creek and Paint Creek. The map provides a clear record of the rural road network, including historic alignments like Kansas Rd and Katy Rd, which connect these dispersed settlements across the prairie.
