2022 Map of Council Grove Lake

About this map

Council Grove Lake dominates this portion of Morris County, where the impounded waters of the Neosho River and Canning Creek create an intricate shoreline of narrow inlets and ridges. To the north, the small settlement of Kelso remains a distinct marker on the landscape near Kelso Cem, while to the south, Helmick sits along Elm Cr. The geography here is defined by the transition from the upland prairies of the Flint Hills into the river valleys, as evidenced by the numerous tributaries like Gilmore Creek, Lairds Cr, and Slough Cr that feed into the reservoir system.
