About this map

Mound Valley serves as the primary hub of this Labette County landscape, established on a grid of numbered streets just north of Pumpkin Creek. The town is anchored by the Mound Valley Cemetery on its eastern edge, while the surrounding countryside is defined by agricultural research and small rural communities. To the west, the Southeast Kansas Agricultural Experiment highlights the region's focus on land management and crop production.

Moving south toward the small settlement of Penfield, the terrain follows the winding paths of Richland Creek and its tributaries. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Penfield Cemetery, Richland Cemetery, and Griffith Cemetery. Distinctive landmarks like Dixon Mound rise above the flat sections, providing a sense of verticality to the drainage basins of Mud Creek and Lost Branch.
