2011 Map of Leeton

About this map

Leeton serves as the primary settlement on this Johnson County landscape, characterized by a dense network of country roads and numerous family and community burial grounds. The distribution of these sites, including the Mineral Creek Cemetery, Fewel Cemetery, and Salem Cemetery, suggests a long-standing pattern of rural settlement along the area's many waterways. The drainage system is particularly intricate, defined by the Clear Fork Blackwater River in the north and the meandering courses of Little Tebo Creek and Wade Creek to the south. Moving east of the main town, the smaller community of New Castle sits near the banks of Wilson Lake. The presence of several numbered impoundments, such as Number 131 Reservoir and Number 106 Lake, highlights the modern management of the local watershed for agricultural and community needs.
