2009 Map of Whitewater

About this map

Whitewater serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Butler County, organized around a rectilinear street grid including E Central St and E Carr St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the agricultural and extractive industries typical of the Kansas plains in the early twenty-first century. Waterways like Gypsum Creek and the West Branch Whitewater River wind through the township, while smaller settlements such as Annelly and Furley punctuate the grid of county roads. Industrial activity is visible in the Dubois Oil Field and Furley Oil Field, illustrating the economic reliance on natural resources. Local genealogy is anchored by several established burial grounds, including the Swiss Cemetery to the northeast and the Green Valley Cemetery in the southern reaches, providing a clear record of the community's historical footprint.
