2017 Map of Aurora East

About this map

The city of Aurora sits on the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Hamilton County, serving as a hub for the surrounding township grids. In the late 2010s, the terrain remains defined by its water systems, including the meandering path of Beaver Cr and the northern flow of Lincoln Cr. Evidence of the area's early settlement is preserved in the local cemeteries that punctuate the rural sections, such as Salem Cem located near the intersection of modern transit corridors and the historic Youst Cem to the east. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management of the Plains, highlighting features like Bergeson Basin and Peetzke Reservoir. To the northeast, the town of Hampton anchors the map, connected to the county seat by a network of well-ordered section roads that follow the original public land surveys.
