About this map

Chetopa serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, situated near the confluence of the Neosho River and Labette Creek. The town's grid of residential streets, including Plum St and Mulberry St, reflects a settled agricultural community on the southern edge of the Kansas border. This region of the Neosho valley is defined by its complex drainage network, where Town Creek, Cherry Creek, and Fly Creek meander through the lowlands toward the main river channel.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the rural landscape, from the Pleasant Valley Cem in the northwest to Fairview Cem near the eastern border. To the north, the small settlement of Faulkner sits near Center Cr, while the historic Overman Bridge spans the river along the northern county line. The presence of smaller bodies of water like Hubbell Lake and Marvin Lake underscores the river-bottom character of the terrain surrounding the Labette and Cherokee county boundary.
