2015 Map of Leon

About this map

Leon serves as the primary hub of this eastern Butler County landscape, situated near the winding course of the Little Walnut River. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets like N Main St and W Mechanic St, illustrating a classic Kansas prairie settlement pattern. This area is a significant resource for genealogical research, as it preserves the locations of several distinct burial grounds, including the Leon Cem just south of town and the family-named Butts - Wakefield Cem to the northwest. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is marked by a network of rural routes such as SE Bluestem Rd and SE Teter Rd that traverse the rolling hills. Small watercourses like Turkey Cr feed into the river system, which dictates the layout of regional thoroughfares and the positioning of rural outposts like Pickrell Corner.
