About this map

Leon serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Decatur County, with its grid of streets such as N Main St and NE Idaho St providing a structured anchor to the surrounding rural landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the Weldon River and several smaller waterways like McGruder Cr and Kilgore Cr that carve through the agricultural uplands.

For family historians, this area is exceptionally well-documented by its many small burial grounds. Small family or community plots such as Mount Tabor Cem, Hatfield Cem, and the Beaver Cem are scattered across the townships, reflecting a legacy of 19th-century settlement. The presence of the County Home Cem particularly points toward the local social history of Decatur County’s public institutions.
