2018 Map of Parsons West

About this map

The city of Parsons anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the residential grids of Orchard Park and Winway meet the industrial infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad. This 2018 survey reveals a transition from the urban density of Labette County's largest city to the structured agricultural expanses of the western prairie. Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds documented, including Mount Calvary Cem and Memorial Lawn Cem, while the rural western sections preserve older markers like Wilsonton Cem and Spring Hill Cem. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Little Labette Cr and Labette Creek, which carve through a terrain otherwise marked by prominent natural rises like Tackett Mound. Small-scale aviation history is also present, with Blue Sky Airport and Reed-Wilsonton Airport serving the area's transportation needs beyond the rail lines.
