2012 Map of Council Grove Lake

About this map

Council Grove Lake dominates the central landscape of this Morris County region, with its sprawling shoreline and several fingers reaching into the surrounding prairie. Fed by the Neosho River and Canning Cr, the reservoir is a focal point for recreation at White Memorial Camp and reflects mid-century infrastructure projects that altered the local hydrology. North of the lake, the small settlement of Kelso and the nearby Kelso Cem provide a look at the area's agricultural foundations, while the southern portion of the map transitions toward Helmick and the drainage of Elm Cr. The map details a well-established grid of rural routes including City Lake Rd and Kelso Rd, supporting the Council Grove Municipal Airport and connecting the quiet cemetery sites of Calvary Cem and Greenwood Cem near the historic path of Old US 56.
