About this map

Pontiac serves as the central settlement in this portion of Butler County, surrounded by a landscape defined by an extensive network of prairie waterways. The drainage pattern is led by the North Branch Little Walnut River in the southeast and complemented by Bird Creek, Bemis Creek, and Shady Creek. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, where section-line roads like NE Satchell Creek Rd and SE Munson Hill Rd carve a strict grid across the undulating terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Pontiac Cemetery and Economy Cemetery, providing points of reference for families rooted in the area. The presence of the Long Oil Field and Young Oil Field indicates the ongoing importance of the energy sector to the local economy, while the various creek branches, including Harrison Creek and Crooked Creek, continue to shape the agricultural use of the land.
