2009 Map of Olmitz

About this map

The settlement of Olmitz anchors this landscape in western Barton County, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of Blood Creek. The territory is defined by its dual economy of agriculture and energy extraction, evidenced by the numerous petroleum operations scattered across the plains. Several active areas, including the Leoville Oil Field, Matter Oil Field, Mary A Oil Field, and Carroll Oil Field, underscore the significance of the region's mineral wealth during the early 21st century. This survey provides vital documentation for genealogists and local historians through the precise location of community landmarks. Traditional burial sites such as Saint Anns Cemetery, Boyle Cemetery, and Saint Anthony Cemetery are clearly marked, offering a spatial record of the families who settled this portion of the Kansas prairie near the headwaters of Landon Creek.
