2015 Map of Laton

About this map

The settlement of Laton anchors this rural landscape along the border of Rooks and Osborne Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Medicine Cr, Eagle Cr, and Lucky Cr, which cut through the high plains. A clear grid of section roads and rural routes, such as Co Rd 31 and S 280th Ave, connects the isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots of this Kansas region. For those researching local family history or the burial sites of early pioneers, the map identifies several geographically distinct cemeteries, including Pleasant Plain Cem in the northeast and Chalk Mound Cem further west. These markers, along with Aurora Cem and the Lutheran Cem, provide essential anchor points for understanding the early community structure and settlement patterns of T8S and T9S in Rooks County.
