2012 Map of Xenia

About this map

Little Osage River meanders across this rural Bourbon County landscape, defining a terrain of creeks and ridges. The settlements of Xenia in the northwest and Berlin to the southeast anchor a sparse grid of country roads, including Tomahawk Rd and Soldier Rd. This area is characterized by several small burial grounds that serve as vital markers for genealogical research, such as Northway Cem near the river and Turkey Creek Cem further south. The prominence of Guthrie Mountain rises above the river valley, while a dense network of tributaries like Limestone Cr, Dyer Cr, and Walnut Cr drain the surrounding agricultural fields. The map reflects a persistent rural character where family history is etched into the landscape through namesake cemeteries and a established network of section roads.
