2012 Map of Paola East

About this map

Miola Lake serves as a prominent focal point for the rural landscape east of the county seat, surrounded by a grid of local roads and evolving residential pockets. The area is characterized by its agricultural roots and deep-seated local history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the township, including Somerset Cem, Hodges Cem, and Highland Cem. Small community clusters like Somerset and Lento maintain their identity along the country routes, while the southern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Marais des Cygnes River. Further north, the landscape is drained by tributaries such as Bull Cr and N Wea Cr. This 2012 survey captures the modern layout of the Miami County Fairgrounds and the infrastructure of the Paola Wastewater Treatment Facility, reflecting the balance between traditional Kansas farmland and necessary municipal growth.
