2009 Map of Hanover East

About this map

Hanover anchors the southwestern portion of this Washington County landscape, where the local street grid including E Elm St meets Shady Blvd. This 2009 survey illustrates a predominantly agrarian region defined by a structured network of section roads like Big Bear Rd and All American Rd that crisscross the prairie. These roads navigate a series of winding watercourses, most notably Cottonwood Creek and the meandering Horseshoe Creek. For researchers, the presence of Saint Johns Cemetery and Hanover Cemetery provides critical focal points for genealogical study near the primary settlement. To the east and north, the smaller named localities of Bremen, Hermansberg, and Lanham mark the intersections of rural life, while creeks like Mountain Creek and Roemer Creek drain the open fields.
