About this map

Mound Valley Cem and the surrounding grid of Labette County farm roads anchor this 2012 study of a classic Kansas agricultural landscape. The town center is defined by a dense cluster of streets, including Main and Hickory St, while the outlying areas reveal a network of rural watercourses like Pumpkin Cr and Richland Cr. A prominent geographic feature, Dixon Mound, rises above the plains north of the main settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of community landmarks, including the Penfield Cem, Richland Cem, and the Griffith Cem in the northwest. The presence of the Southeast Kansas Agricultural Experiment station near Mud Cr underscores the region's long-standing dedication to scientific farming. Small settlements like Penfield are shown along the arterial routes that link these rural homesteads.
