About this map

The county seat of Leon occupies the southwestern corner of this survey, where the street grid of the town meets the undulating terrain of Decatur County. This landscape is defined by the drainage of the Weldon River and its numerous tributaries, including Cobbville Cr, McGruder Cr, and Brush Cr. The road network reflects the historical migration and settlement patterns of the region, notably evidenced by the presence of Morman Trail Rd, which cuts east-west across the central township. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it documents several pioneer-era burial grounds. Family names are preserved through sites such as Johnson Cem, Winters Cem, Doze Cem, and Trullinger Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural sections between Jonathan Creek and the river valley.
