About this map

Louisburg serves as the focal point of this Eastern Kansas landscape, positioned near the northern edge of the sheet where the municipal grid meets the headwaters of Rabbit Creek. The town's water management is anchored by the Louisburg City Dam, while the surrounding countryside maintains a distinctly agricultural character. This 2009 survey highlights several local aviation landmarks, including Somerset Airport and Crosswind Airfield, which emphasize the flat, open geography characteristic of Miami County.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of the Cashman Cemetery and Raymer Cemetery, both located east of the main town center. The presence of the Spring Valley School northwest of the city suggests older community centers that once dotted the rural sections. The drainage patterns are defined by several notable water bodies, including South Wea Creek and Middle Creek, which carve gentle paths through the section lines of the township.
