2022 Map of Valeda

About this map

Valeda and Angola anchor this rural landscape in Labette County, where a strictly organized grid of county roads defines the settlement patterns. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of Pumpkin Creek and Deer Creek, which cut across the geometric land divisions of the Public Land Survey System. These waterways and smaller tributaries like Snow Cr and Rock Cr provide the primary relief in an otherwise agricultural expanse. For local history researchers, the map identifies small, significant landmarks such as Lei Cem and Roberts Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early residents. The presence of Mallard Pond and the intersection of Valeda RD and 4000 RD highlight the central role of these small hubs in the broader farming community during the early twenty-first century.
