2021 Map of Aurora West

About this map

The Hamilton County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Aurora, anchoring a grid of streets that extend westward toward the agricultural heart of Hamilton County. This 2021 study captures the town's modern footprint, including residential developments near Cottage Park Dr and the industrial activity along Railroad Ave. Outside the town center, the landscape is defined by the section-line road network and the winding path of Beaver Cr, which carves through the prairie landscape. To the south, the N Br W Fork Big Blue River is managed by water infrastructure like the Kostal Hawthorne Dam, which creates the Kostal Reservoir. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant burial sites including Prairie Gem Cem and Seaton Cem, preserving their locations within the rural townships.
