2009 Map of Blue Hill

About this map

Rose Valley Cemetery sits in the northern reaches of this Mitchell County landscape, a vital point of reference for genealogists tracking early settlers in this rural expanse. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of the Blue Hills, which rise above a complex network of drainage basins. The hydrologic pattern is defined by several significant watercourses, including the westward-flowing Salt Creek and numerous tributaries such as Walnut Creek, Antelope Creek, and Cole Creek. The small community of Blue Hill serves as a central landmark amidst the section-line roads that organize the agricultural territory. This survey reflects the enduring rural structure of North Central Kansas at the start of the twenty-first century, showing the intersection of natural topography and established land divisions.
