2012 Map of Galesburg

About this map

Lake Parsons dominates the central landscape of this Neosho and Labette County border region, serving as a primary hydrological and recreational landmark north of the city of Parsons. The surrounding terrain is defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding courses of Labette Cr and Ogeese Cr. The settlement of Hayden appears to the east, while a network of family and community burial sites such as Ladore Cem, Valley Cem, and Brethren Cem provides critical points of interest for genealogical research and local history. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the White Farms Airport and a small Po at the western edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a well-established agricultural landscape, where the naming of nearly every township road—from Meade Rd to Jackson Rd—reflects the systematic parceling and long-term residency characteristic of southeastern Kansas.
