1950 Map of Jarbalo

About this map

Jarbalo serves as the central hub for this Leavenworth County landscape, where the rural topography is defined by the winding course of Stranger Creek and its many tributaries. The area is notable for its exceptionally dense network of local schoolhouses, including Centennial School, Star School, Elmwood School, and Smith School, which suggests a highly organized 19th-century district system still largely intact at the time of this 1948 field check. These small, scattered school sites, often located at crossroads like Five Points, provide valuable touchpoints for family historians.
