2012 Map of Prescott

About this map

Prescott and the smaller settlement of Barnesville anchor this corner of Linn County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Osage River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds, including the Battlefield Cem to the north and Saint Michaels Cem to the southwest, suggesting a landscape layered with local heritage. Water management and drainage are central themes here, evidenced by the central Prescott City Lake and the convergence of E Laberdie Cr, W Laberdie Cr, and Indian Cr. The transportation network relies on a transition from the modern path of Us HWY 69 to older rural thoroughfares like Old US Hwy 69, illustrating the evolution of regional transit routes through the Kansas countryside.
