2012 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Mapleton sits at the heart of this Linn County landscape, serving as a focal point for a rural network of farm-to-market roads and watercourses. The town's local post office, labeled Po, is situated near the Mapleton Cem, anchoring the community's history alongside the Little Osage River which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. North of the settlement, the terrain is defined by the divided headwaters of the N Fork Little Sugar Cr and S Fork Little Sugar Cr, which bracket Johnson Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries including Stevenson Cem and Campbell Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of the area. Small tributaries like Opossum Cr and Bell Br snake through the grid of section lines, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of Kansas.
