2012 Map of Five Mounds

About this map

Five Mounds and the other eponymous local rises define the topography of this corner of Neosho County. The map details a landscape carved by winding waterways including Big Cedar Cr, Pumpkin Cr, and Chetopa Cr, which snake through a structured grid of rural roads such as Wichita Rd and Anderson Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern agricultural layout of the region, where family history is preserved at the Pleasant Valley Cem and Crane Cem. The distribution of these landmarks, alongside smaller features like Leonards Lake, reflects the sparse, persistent settlement pattern of the Kansas plains. Landforms like Dewey Mound and Long Mound provide notable elevation changes in an otherwise steadily draining river basin.
