About this map

Vermillion Creek meanders through this portion of Pottawatomie County, defining the agricultural landscape around the small settlement of Laclede. The area is characterized by a network of rural roads that often bear the names of local families and early transit routes, such as Old Townsend Rd, Tannerville Rd, and Conestoga Rd. These names provide a direct link to the lineage and movement of people across this prairie terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of local burial grounds, including Vieux Cemetery in the southwest and Laclede Cemetery near the town center. The presence of Indian Village Rd and Polly Creek Cemetery further underscores the layers of residency and historical memory embedded in the land. Small watercourses like Pomeroy Creek and Polly Creek feed into the larger creek system, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced farmstead placement for generations.
