2009 Map of Lafontaine

About this map

The settlement of Lafontaine anchors this Wilson County landscape, positioned where several small drainages converge in the Kansas plains. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Fall River in the northern half of the sheet, supported by a network of smaller waterways including Sycamore Creek, Elm Branch, and East Rainbow Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region in the early 21st century, showing the established section lines and rural road networks like State Hwy 39 and Co Rd 6600 that connect local homesteads. For those tracing family histories or local landmarks, the map identifies significant local burial grounds such as Bachelder Cemetery in the northwest and Koger Cemetery to the southeast, alongside Camp Crawford, reflecting the community and recreational footprints within this agricultural area.
