2015 Map of Lebo

About this map

Melvern Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain near the small settlements of Arvonia and Olivet. The map illustrates a primarily agricultural and rural section of the Kansas plains where the Osage Co and Coffey Co boundary line divides the quadrangle. The town of Lebo serves as a central hub, featuring a traditional grid of streets such as W Broadway St and W Sac & Fox St. The surrounding countryside is defined by a network of drainage creeks including Coal Cr, Lebo Cr, and Frog Creek. Further east, the small community of Ridgeton sits along W Olivet Rd. The rural character is reinforced by the presence of a lone Cem near Key West, providing a clear look at the dispersed nature of local history and family landmarks in the region during the early 21st century.
