2018 Map of Carthage East

About this map

The agricultural heart of Hancock County is centered around Carthage, where the township grid meets the meandering drainage of the La Moine River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures a landscape of long-established family farms and rural burying grounds, including McKay Cem, Woodring Cem, and Franklin Cem. The eastern edge of the seat at Carthage shows the proximity of the Old Carthage Cem to the town's edge, while the small settlement of Webster sits on the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. Regional aviation is represented by the Brooks Ranch Airport, located near Linda Lake. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways such as Prairie Cr, Middle Cr, and Long Cr, which break the flat prairie into a series of rolling divides that dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads.
