2012 Map of Hammond

About this map

The settlement of Hammond serves as the central hub of this Bourbon County landscape, situated within a dense grid of rural roads and section lines. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including the Little Osage River in the northeast and several smaller tributaries such as Wolverine Cr and Moores Br. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern layout of these corridors, where aviation and local history intersect at Emmerson Airport and nearby Lyons Field. Genealogists will find the locations of W Liberty Cem and Glendale Cem essential for mapping family history in this part of Kansas. The road system, including named routes like Wagon Rd and Tomahawk Rd, reflects the long-standing agricultural framework that has shaped the region's development since the early years of settlement.
