2018 Map of Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac serves as the central point of this Butler County landscape, situated at the intersection of SE 10th St and SE Price Rd. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage, where the N Br Little Walnut River flows through the southeastern quadrant and several smaller tributaries like Bemis Creek and Bird Cr carve through the section lines. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent agricultural grid of Kansas, with section roads such as NE Ellis Rd and NE Grant Rd providing access to the prairie. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local burial grounds, including the Pontiac Cem just west of the main settlement and the Economy Cem to the south. Other notable markers of human activity include Foster Field in the north and various named drainage features like Shady Cr and De Haas Cr that influence the local topography.
