2022 Map of Lacona

About this map

Lacona and the neighboring community of Liberty Center anchor this rural landscape along the southern border of Warren and Lucas counties. The terrain is defined by the branching drainages of Wolf Creek, Cotton Creek, and Stony Creek, which create a complex network of ridges and draws across the prairie. For those documenting family history, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, including Saint Marys of Lacona Cemetery and Plainville-Chapel Cemetery in the north, and Graceland Cemetery further south. The geometric grid of rural roads, such as Wyoming Street and County Road G76, reveals a landscape still primarily dedicated to agriculture, where early pioneer settlements have left their mark through persistent place names and small, scattered cemeteries like Hendrickson Cem and Shupe Cem.
