2015 Map of Hammond

About this map

Hammond serves as the central hub of this Bourbon County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of prairie tributaries and section-line roads. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, from the northern flow of the Little Osage River to the smaller drainages of Wolverine Cr, Shiloh Cr, and Moores Br. This survey reveals the enduring rural infrastructure of the region, where a series of community-anchoring burial grounds including West Liberty Cem, Glendale Cem, and Maple Grove Cem mark the historical footprint of local families. Transport patterns are a mix of traditional and modern, featuring the Emmerson Airport alongside a grid of thoroughfares such as Wagon Rd, Tomahawk Rd, and Soldier Rd. The map illustrates a classic Midwestern agricultural layout where the natural drainage of Elm Cr and Fish Cr dictates the local topography.
