2012 Map of Lafontaine

About this map

Lafontaine serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Wilson County, situated where Main St and Lafontaine Rd intersect. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Fall River, which carves through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This area of Kansas exhibits a highly structured grid of section roads, such as Buxton Rd and Harper Rd, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern local travel. For those tracing family histories, the presence of the Bachelder Cem near W Rainbow Cr and the Cheatham Cem further south provides concrete locations for genealogical research. The map also identifies Camp Crawford, located along a bend in the river, and several smaller tributaries like Sycamore Cr and Elm Br that drain the surrounding agricultural lands.
