2017 Map of La Belle

About this map

La Belle serves as the central hub of this Lewis County landscape, where the town grid meets a network of state routes and country roads. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense drainage system of creeks and branches, most notably Troublesome Cr and its tributaries like Little Troublesome Cr and Hawkins Br. This survey reveals a high concentration of family and community burial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Washburn Cem, Glover Cem, Lear Cem, and Downing Cem, offering significant value for genealogical research. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by several named reservoirs such as Henry Sever Lake, New La Belle Lake, and Laura M Baker Lake. The inclusion of Sharpe Farms Airport in the southeast corner points to the intersection of agricultural land use and small-scale aviation in the modern era.
