2022 Map of Marmaton

About this map

The Marmaton River carves a winding path through the center of this Bourbon County landscape, defining the topography of an area steeped in Kansas frontier history. Small rural settlements like Marmaton and Hollister serve as focal points for a grid of section roads, including the notably named Katy Rd and Jayhawk Rd. This 2022 survey captures the modern rural character of the region, where family legacies are preserved at Marmaton Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem. The southeastern corner of the map shows a shift toward infrastructure and recreation, featuring the Fort Scott Municipal Airport and the waters of Lake Fort Scott. Water is a persistent theme across the terrain, with numerous tributaries such as Paint Cr and Cedar Cr feeding into the primary river valley.
