2010 Map of Labette

About this map

Labette Creek meanders through the southeastern Kansas prairie, anchoring a rural landscape defined by straight-line section roads and small agricultural hubs. The city of Oswego occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as the primary population center, while smaller named locations like Labette, Stover, and Garvin mark the intersections of the regional grid. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring structure of Labette County's farm-to-market road system, with long-established cemeteries like Oswego Cemetery and Labette Cemetery providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Spring Creek and its tributaries offer a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding fields, illustrating how the local hydrology continues to shape the agricultural development and placement of historic settlements in this part of the state.
