2022 Map of South Mound

About this map

South Mound and the northern reaches of Parsons define the settlement pattern of this southeastern Kansas landscape at the border of Neosho and Labette counties. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the complex, tightly winding meanders of the Neosho River, where a series of sharp oxbows and the Neosho River Cutoff illustrate a highly active floodplain. This river system, fed by tributaries like Brogan Creek and Murphy Cr, contrasts with the high ground to the west, where Squadron Field and the small town of South Mound sit along a grid of section-line roads. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of Oak Grove Cem and Brown Cem, while the industrial or recreational past is hinted at by Lake McKinley, reached via McKinley Lake Rd.
