2017 Map of Leeton

About this map

The town of Leeton serves as the primary hub on this Missouri survey, which details a landscape marked by the transition between the Clear Fork Blackwater River to the north and the headwaters of the Tebo and Wade creeks to the south. The area is defined by its deep agricultural and genealogical roots, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds scattered across the county line. These include the Mineral Creek Cem, Fewel Cem, and Hickory Grove Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the region. The map also documents the interface between Johnson and Henry Counties, showing how rural roads like State Hwy EE connect the central township to outlying areas such as New Castle. Notable water features like Wilson Lake and the Number 131 Reservoir highlight the importance of water management in this interior prairie environment.
