2012 Map of Peabody SE

About this map

Whitewater River and its tributaries, including Henry Cr and Dry Cr, carve through this Kansas agricultural landscape, defined by a rigid section-line road network. The map reveals the persistence of early 20th-century industry through the presence of the Elbing Oil Field and the Paulson Northeast Oil Field, indicating the area's continued reliance on petroleum extraction alongside farming. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are documented, such as Zion Cem in the northwest, Pleasant View Cem further south, and Fairmount Cem near the center of the quadrangle. Small local landmarks like Edmonds Pool offer insight into the local hydrology and social geography of this region of Butler County.
