2017 Map of Dolton

About this map

The small settlement of Dolton sits in the northeast corner of this prairie landscape, situated along a prominent Railroad line at the boundary of Turner and Hutchinson Counties. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-dependent development of the region, where a series of family-named cemeteries serve as the primary landmarks for researchers and genealogists. From the Kleinkassell Cem in the west to the Schartner Cem in the east, these burial grounds often represent the legacy of early Mennonite settlers. Near the center of the quadrangle, Silver Lake provides a rare break in the agricultural topography. Local religious history is anchored by the Hutterthal Mennonite Church Cem, while the southern portion of the map includes the small Tschetter Cem, reflecting the deep familial roots tied to the township's sections and range lines.
