2018 Map of Prescott

About this map

The Little Osage River winds across the southern reaches of this eastern Kansas landscape, marking the transition between Linn and Bourbon counties. The town of Prescott serves as a central hub, where the local street grid including Green St and W Front St sits near the Prescott City Lake. The area's settlement history is documented through numerous burial sites, from Battlefield Cem in the north to the Saint Michael's Cem and Osaga Cem near Fulton. This topography reveals a rural economy shaped by waterways like Walnut Cr and E Laberdie Cr, which intersect a strictly partitioned section-line road network. The map preserves the placement of small communities like Barnesville and its associated Barnesville Cem, providing a clear view of the area's enduring rural character and the persistence of family-named landmarks.
