About this map

Rosalia and the surrounding prairie of Butler County are defined by a complex network of waterways that feed the Walnut River basin. The village itself sits at the western edge of the quadrangle, while the smaller locales of Summit and Sallyards are positioned along the county line and the drainage of Silver Cr. This landscape is deeply etched by the N Br Little Walnut River and the Middle Br Little Walnut River, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain.

Genealogical interest is centered at the Blankenship Cem south of the main settlement. The map reveals the persistence of a rural infrastructure where township roads and descriptive landmarks like Windy Hill and Cattle Pen Rd suggest a long history of ranching and livestock movement. Water sources such as Rogers Pond and De Haas Cr further illustrate the essential relationship between the land's hydrology and the survival of these high-plains communities.
