LeRoy sits at a prominent bend in the Neosho River, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of eastern Kansas. This area, marking the boundary between Coffey and Woodson Counties, is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Big Creek, South Big Creek, and Turkey Creek. The map shows a transition from the structured residential grid of LeRoy, featuring streets like Nebraska Ave and Scott St, to the expansive rural sections defined by the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, such as the Le Roy Cemetery east of town, the centrally located Crandell Cemetery, and the Lorenz Schlichter Memorial Cemetery situated near the northern edge of the survey area.
