2009 Map of Porterville

About this map

Porterville sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Bourbon County, serving as a central point in a grid of section roads and cattle ways. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of small waterways, including Flat Rock Creek and Little Walnut Creek, which drain the prairie land. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map preserves the exact locations of local burial grounds such as Harmony Cemetery in the north, Rosedale Cemetery to the east, and Walnut Cemetery in the south. The road network, including the specifically named McVay Cattle County Rd, reflects the area's long-standing ranching and farming economy. Notable landmarks like Paint Creek and Wolfpen Creek provide geographical anchors for land tracts within this rural Kansas quadrangle.
