2018 Map of Laton

About this map

The small settlement of Laton anchors this portion of the Kansas plains, situated within a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and the gentle meandering of Medicine Cr and Lucky Cr. Located along the border where Rooks Co and Osborne Co meet, the area preserves a high concentration of community burial sites that reflect the region's homesteading history. These include Pleasant Plain Cem, Chalk Mound Cem, Aurora Cem, and Lutheran Cem, each positioned near the section lines and rural thoroughfares like Co Rd 31 and 29 Rd. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of Eagle Cr, creating a rolling topography that contrasts with the rigid section divisions of the Public Land Survey System, which remain the primary framework for navigation and land ownership in this rural corridor.
