2010 Map of Menlo

About this map

Menlo serves as the primary hub of this Guthrie County landscape, located near the southern boundary of a region defined by a network of drainage ways. To the north, the small settlement of Glendon is situated near the curves of Beaver Creek, while the South Raccoon River marks the northernmost reaches of the survey. The terrain is characterized by its organized grid of rural roads, including Ranch Trl and Rose Ave, which connect several family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find notable value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, including Menlo Cemetery, Rosehill Cemetery, and the Quaker Cemetery to the west. Educational history is preserved at the site of the Morning Star School on Sycamore Ave, and the local civil center is noted by the Menlo Post Office. The drainage patterns here are complex, with Spring Branch and South Beaver Creek feeding into the larger river systems that move through this agricultural area.
