About this map

The Marmaton River and its numerous tributaries, including Paint Cr, Pawnee Cr, and Cedar Cr, define the drainage and settlement patterns of this Bourbon County landscape. The small community of Marmaton is situated near the river's northern bend, accompanied by the local Marmaton Cem. Further south, the map details the rural settlements of Ronald and Hollister, the latter positioned near the headwaters of Elm Cr.

Hydraulic features dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle, notably Lake Fort Scott and Rock Creek Lake. This era shows a transition in land use toward aviation and recreation, anchored by the Fort Scott Municipal Airport and the surrounding reservoir developments. The grid-based road network, featuring routes like Jayhawk Rd and Hackberry Rd, connects these scattered water resources and cemeteries, including the southern Pleasant Valley Cem.
