About this map

Rosalia and the surrounding rural landscape of eastern Butler County are defined by the complex drainage systems of the Little Walnut River. The N Br Little Walnut River and Middle Br Little Walnut River carve through the terrain, joined by numerous tributaries like De Haas Cr and Nicholas Cr. This network of waterways historically dictated the placement of small agricultural hubs such as Summit and Sallyards, the latter situated near the Greenwood County line.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Blankinship Cem south of Rosalia, a significant marker of early settlement in the area. The landscape transitions from these low-lying creek beds to prominent elevations like Windy Hill in the southeast. This modern survey provides a clear view of the established section lines and rural road networks, including Cattle Pen Rd and SE 10th St, that continue to organize the Flint Hills prairie.
