About this map

Galesburg and the surrounding prairie of the Neosho and Labette County border appear here in a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section-line roads and the winding course of Labette Creek. This area of Southeast Kansas maintains its agricultural character, evidenced by small private airstrips like White Farms Airport and Clemens Airport. The survey details the western reaches of Lake Parsons, a significant water body that influences the local topography near the southern edge of the sheet.

Genealogists will find a high density of small, named burial grounds that speak to the early settlement patterns of these townships, including Ladore Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and the side-by-side West Bethany Cem and East Bethany Cem. The small community of Hayden and the northern outskirts of Parsons anchor the eastern and southern edges, while the interior is crisscrossed by established routes such as Kingman Rd and Ottawa Rd.
