About this map

Saint Hyacinth Cem is the primary cultural landmark in this rural landscape of McPherson County, located just north of Willow Cr. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines, with north-south routes like 366th Ave and 370th Ave intersecting east-west roads from 105th St down to 113th St. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural structure of the High Plains, where the drainage patterns of Dry Run cut across the geometric precision of the township and range survey system. The absence of established town centers highlights the area's character as a network of farmsteads and open fields, where small family or parish landmarks like the local cemetery provide the essential points of orientation for researchers and genealogists.
