About this map

The town of Louisburg serves as the focal point of this Eastern Kansas landscape, where the residential grid meets the surrounding agricultural countryside of Miami County. This 2018 survey detail provides significant value for genealogists, as it documents a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Louisburg Cem - Old, Louisburg Cem - New, and several family-named sites such as Reed Cem, Herman Cem, and Wilson - Raymer Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainage of S Wea Cr and Rabbit Cr, with Louisburg Lake providing a local water feature north of the town center.

Transportation corridors dominate the north-south axis, specifically the highway and Rogers Rd, which intersect the landscape alongside aviation landmarks like Crosswind Airfield. The map preserves the specific locations of late-20th and early-21st-century rural landmarks such as Settle Cem and Miami Cem, illustrating the persistence of historical family and community sites amidst modern road developments like W Amity St and N Metcalf Rd.
