About this map

Saint Hyacinth Cem and Saint Hyacinth Cem 2 stand as central landmarks in this rural landscape of McPherson County, reflecting the area's pioneer heritage and community lineage. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral courses of Willow Cr and the appropriately named Dry Run, which navigate a high plateau patterned with numerous small wetlands and depressions. A strict orthogonal grid of section lines and county roads, including Cty Hwy 8 and Cty Hwy 21, organizes the agricultural interior. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the Great Plains' rural layout, where historical cemeteries remains anchored to the landscape long after many surrounding homesteads have consolidated into large-scale farming operations.
