About this map

Bunker Hill sits at the northern edge of this Russell County landscape, where the flat upland plains begin their descent toward the winding course of the Smoky Hill River. The river bisects the territory from west to east, creating a distinct riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural sections. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the location of rural burial grounds including Blooming Grove Cem near the river and Hyde Park Cem further south. The land is defined by a rigid grid of section roads like Lincoln Rd and Four Corners Rd, which follow the Public Land Survey System boundaries. A mix of natural drainages, such as Beaver Cr and Goose Cr, feed into the river valley, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Mahoney Farm Airport and the major east-west corridor of Interstate 70.
