2009 Map of Paola East

About this map

Miola Lake serves as a central geographical landmark northeast of Paola, where the Miola Lake Dam regulates the surrounding watershed near Miola Lake Drive. This 2009 survey of Miami County documents a landscape defined by its tributary systems, notably South Wea Creek and the southern flow of the Marais Des Cygnes River near Henson. The settlement pattern reflects the agricultural roots of eastern Kansas, with small communities like Somerset and Block situated among numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Somerset Cemetery, Hodges Cemetery, and Holy Cross Cemetery. The area's transition into the 21st century is visible in the network of rural roads and residential developments such as Whispering Oaks Dam Number One.
