2015 Map of Valeda

About this map

Valeda and Angola anchor this portion of Labette County, situated in a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the southern Kansas plains. The topography is subtly shaped by the winding courses of Pumpkin Creek in the west and Deer Creek through the central sections, while Snow Cr and Rock Cr cut across the periphery. This survey reveals a grid-dominated rural structure where section roads like Elk Rd and Valeda Rd connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks. Genealogical interest is found at the Roberts Cem and Lei Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this agricultural expanse. The presence of Mallard Pond north of Valeda provides a rare stationary water feature in an area otherwise characterized by ephemeral creeks and seasonal draws.
