About this map

Osage City and Burlingame serve as the primary hubs in this modern-day layout of Osage County, Kansas. The map documents a landscape defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of Dragoon Creek and Switzler Cr. Between these two towns lies Peterton, a smaller settlement that marks the transition from the upland prairies toward the more developed urban corridors. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including Union Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and the Burlingame City Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking family lineages in the region.

Terrain features like Elkhorn Knob break the steady progression of the section lines, while the Osage City Municipal Airport anchors the southern end of the sheet. The drainage network, featuring Kibbie Cr and Salt Cr, underscores the hydrological patterns that have shaped agricultural boundaries and road placements for generations. This survey presents the contemporary spatial arrangement of these Kansas communities as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
