About this map

Mound Valley anchors this corner of Labette County, organized around a compact grid of streets including Walnut St and Pecan St. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage of Pumpkin Creek and Richland Creek, which wind through a predominantly agricultural region marked by a regular section-line road network. North of the main settlement, Dixon Mound rises as a distinct topographical landmark overlooking the valley floor.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the distribution of rural burial sites across the township. From the Mound Valley Cem near the town center to the outlying Penfield Cem, Richland Cem, and Griffith Cem, these locations preserve the names of the early farming families who settled the region. The small settlement of Penfield remains a notable point of interest, situated near the confluence of local tributaries south of the primary town site.
