2012 Map of Laton

About this map

Laton sits at the heart of this Rooks County landscape, defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and winding creek beds. This 2012 survey documents the enduring rural structure of the region, where the path of Medicine Cr and Lucky Cr carve subtle variations into the prairie. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Chalk Mound Cem and Pleasant Plain Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for the community's early settlement. The road network, consisting of designations like 29 Rd and T Ter, illustrates the systematic grid characteristic of the Great Plains, connecting the central settlement to outlying points like Aurora Cem and Lutheran Cem in the southeastern quadrant.
