2012 Map of Olpe

About this map

The town of Olpe anchors the southern portion of this Lyon County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rigorous grid of section roads and the winding paths of local waterways. Settled just south of the Emporia Municipal Airport, the community is surrounded by local history landmarks, including Saint Joseph Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The geography is shaped by the drainage patterns of Eagle Cr, Coal Cr, and Dry Cr, all of which eventually feed toward the Cottonwood River visible in the northeast corner. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of rural agriculture and municipal utility, featuring the Olpe City Lake and the Emporia Municipal Golf Course. For those studying local land use or family history, the map provides precise locations for smaller landmarks like Mary's Place Airport and several historic burial grounds such as Greenwood Cem and Evergreen Cem north of the main settlement.
