2010 Map of Parsons East

About this map

Parsons anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the street grid of residential neighborhoods meets the expansive section lines of Labette County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Labette Creek and its tributaries, Little Labette Creek and Bachelor Creek, which carve through the farmland before the watershed reaches the Neosho River in the northeast. This 2010 survey captures a mix of small rural communities and significant genealogical landmarks, including Montana and Brownstone. The distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the Masonic Cemetery in the southeast to Oakwood Cemetery near the city center, reflects the long-standing settlement patterns of the region. The map also details a transition from the urban streets of Parsons, like Leawood Ave and Hazel Ave, to a rigorous network of numbered county roads that facilitate the agricultural economy of the Kansas plains.
