2024 Map of Burnside

About this map

Burnside and the surrounding agricultural uplands of Hancock County are defined by a network of dendritic stream valleys that feed into the La Moine River. This 2024 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where small unincorporated settlements like Durham and La Crosse remain anchored by a grid of county roads. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with Grove Creek and Deer Creek creating significant relief against the flat till plain, a topography that likely influenced early cemetery placement and land use.
