About this map

Rosalia sits at the intersection of SE Rosalia Rd and SE 10th St in Butler County, where the plains of eastern Kansas meet a network of south-flowing drainage. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Walnut River, specifically the North Branch Little Walnut River and Middle Branch Little Walnut River, which carve subtle valleys across the terrain. Smaller settlements like Summit and Sallyards are linked by a grid of rural roads, including the curious Cattle Pen Rd and NE Ivanpah Rd.

Resource extraction is a prominent feature of this 2010 survey, with the Jackson Oil Field, Blankenship Oil Field, and Stanhope Oil Field marking the subterranean wealth of the region. Local history is anchored by the Blankenship Cemetery and family-named landmarks like Windy Hill and Rogers Pond. The map captures a moment of modern rural life where traditional agricultural land-use patterns coexist with an established petroleum infrastructure and quiet prairie waterways like De Haas Creek and Silver Creek.
