2012 Map of Leola

About this map

Leola serves as the focal point for this section of McPherson County, organized around a traditional grid with central arteries like Broadway and Leola Ave. The town is surrounded by a sprawling landscape of section-line roads, such as 361st Ave and 114th St, that define the local agricultural layout. Water drainage is channeled through Foot Creek, which meanders past the northern edge of the settlement near Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cemetery. To the south, Green Mound Cemetery sits along the route of the north-south thoroughfare, anchoring the community's local history. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic Great Plains settlement pattern where the town center remains closely integrated with the surrounding prairie and its watercourses.
