2021 Map of Leeton

About this map

Leeton serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated where the Rock Island Spur Trl crosses the prairie. This former rail corridor, now a recreational path, anchors the community and passes through the smaller settlement of New Castle to the east. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Mineral Cr, Little Tebo Cr, and the Clear Fork Blackwater River, which carve subtle valleys through the farmland. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly valuable for its high density of rural burial grounds. Scattered across the countryside are numerous historical sites such as Mineral Creek Cem, Fewel Cem, Wade Cem, and the dual Sardis North Cem and Sardis South Cem. These landmarks, along with Salem Cem and Hickory Grove Cem, provide a clear picture of the early family settlements and parish boundaries that formed the backbone of Johnson and Henry counties.
