1978 Map of Blue Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Salt Creek winds through this rural Kansas landscape, providing a primary drainage route for the surrounding uplands of Mitchell County. The map documents the scattered settlement patterns of the late 1970s, centering on the small community of Blue Hill. The topography is defined by the Blue Hills and the Hayes township area, where the terrain shifts from relatively level plains to dissected drainages. Local landmarks like Rose Valley Cem and the Gravel Pits southwest of the settlement offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family homesteads. The intricate network of waterways, including Walnut Creek, Antelope Creek, Cole Creek, and Little Rock Creek, illustrates the natural irrigation and erosion patterns that have shaped the agricultural development of this north-central Kansas region.
