About this map

Melvern Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Coffey County region, where the reservoir's irregular shoreline meets a grid of agricultural section roads. The city of Lebo serves as the local hub, showing a developed street plan including Broadway St and W Sac & Fox St. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small settlements such as Arvonia, Olivet, and Ridgeton, which reflect the area's rural settlement patterns.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Key West Cemetery in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, positioned near several small tributaries. Drainage for the region is defined by winding watercourses like Frog Creek, Lebo Creek, and Jordan Creek, which carve through the prairie landscape. These natural features, combined with the extensive road network, illustrate the intersection of Kansas water management and established township boundaries during the first decade of the 21st century.
