About this map

The Little Osage River winds through this Bourbon County landscape, defining a terrain of creek bottoms and low ridges. The settlement of Xenia occupies the northwest corner, while the small community of Berlin is situated to the east near Mill Cr. This rural area is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Northway Cem, Morris Cem, Turkey Creek Cem, and Walnut Hill Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogical research.

Elevations rise toward the northeast at Guthrie Mtn, while the southern reaches are characterized by drainage features like Opossum Hollow and Walnut Cr. The map shows a precise grid of rural routes such as Soldier Rd, Treaty Rd, and Osage Rd, reflecting the late-era development of the Kansas prairie. These named roads and watercourses like Limestone Cr and Reagan Br provide a detailed framework for understanding the historical land divisions and original farmsteads of the region.
