About this map

Potwin and Brainerd anchor this portion of Butler County, where the agricultural landscape is carved by the Whitewater River and its various tributaries. The town of Potwin sits at a geographic crossroads, surrounded by a dense network of country roads including NW 80th St and NW Diamond Rd. Local history is preserved in several dispersed burial grounds, from the Potwin Cem near the town center to the isolated Haldeman Cem and Harder Cem situated along the section lines.

The drainage patterns of the E Br Whitewater River, Dry Cr, and Brush Cr define the movement of the terrain across the Kansas plains. Smaller landmarks, such as Taylor Airport at the southern edge and the quiet community of Brainerd with its namesake Brainerd Cem, reflect the enduring rural character of the region. The grid system of townships and ranges, noted by markers like t24s r4e, underscores the systematic settlement of this Butler County territory.
