2015 Map of South Mound

About this map

South Mound sits near the western edge of this landscape where the undulating plains of Kansas meet the complex oxbows of the Neosho River. The river's meandering course dominates the eastern half of the map, characterized by dramatic loops and a distinct Neosho River Cutoff that illustrate the dynamic nature of this waterway. The rural character is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including Queen Rd and Victory Rd, which navigate around drainage features like Bachelor Cr and Tolen Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of Brown Cem and Oak Grove Cem, alongside small water bodies such as Lake McKinley. This 2015 survey provides a snapshot of agricultural land use and natural water management in the region spanning the Neosho and Labette county line.
