2018 Map of Hanover SW

About this map

The Little Blue River and its meandering tributaries carve through the rural landscape of Washington County in this 2018 survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of local roads following the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including Wagon Train Rd and Pony Express Ave, reflecting the historical transit corridors of the region. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint Paul Cem and Mount Jesus Cem, which serve as permanent markers of early settlement patterns in this agricultural heartland. Numerous small waterways, such as Mill Creek, Cedar Cr, and Lane Br, drain the land toward the river, creating a complex series of draws and ridges that have influenced the placement of farms and homesteads for generations.
