About this map

Mound Valley serves as the primary population center on this landscape in Labette County, defined by its grid of named streets including Walnut St, Hickory St, and Pecan St. The surrounding countryside is primarily agricultural, punctuated by several established burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Mound Valley Cem and the more remote Griffith Cem in the northwest corner.

Drainage across the region is dictated by several winding waterways, notably Pumpkin Creek and Richland Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie. Smaller hamlets and geographic markers like Penfield and the prominent Dixon Mound provide additional orientation for those studying the early 21st-century land use of this Kansas plains environment. The map details a dense network of section-line roads, facilitating travel between these rural settlements and their respective community landmarks, including Penfield Cem and Richland Cem.
