2018 Map of Parsons East

About this map

Parsons anchors the western edge of this southeastern Kansas landscape, where the residential streets of the city transition into a grid of rural sections and agricultural plots. The area is defined by the winding paths of Labette Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Labette Creek and Bachelor Creek, which drain toward the Neosho River in the northeast corner. Small community hubs like Brownstone, Laneville, and Montana are scattered across the township lines of T31S and T32S, representing the enduring settlement patterns of Labette County. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, including the large Oakwood Cem near the city, and the rural Franklin Cem, Fairview Cem, and Masonic Cem, which serve as vital markers of the families who established these prairie communities.
