2022 Map of Porterville

About this map

Porterville sits at the heart of this rural landscape where the borders of Bourbon, Neosho, Allen, and Crawford counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, most notably Little Walnut Cr and Flat Rock Cr, which carve through the prairie lands of Southeast Kansas. This area retains a strictly agricultural character, with a grid of country roads such as Cavalry Rd and Arrowhead Rd connecting isolated homesteads and local landmarks. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several local burial grounds, including Harmony Cem to the north and Rosedale Cem and Walnut Cem further south. The drainage patterns of smaller tributaries like Wolfpen Cr and Pony Cr offer a clear picture of the land's natural contours and the challenges faced by early settlers in this four-county corner.
