2015 Map of Hanover West

About this map

The Little Blue River carves a winding path through the northern plains of Washington County, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and small river-valley settlements. Near the northern boundary, Hollenberg sits at the intersection of Railroad St and Hollenberg Ave, while the community of Spence is located further south where Wagon Train Rd meets Spence Ave. The geography is etched with the courses of Mill Creek and Cottonwood Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Local history is preserved at the Prall Cem, situated in the rolling uplands between the watercourses. The infrastructure of the region is evident in the systematic numbering of rural routes like 22nd Rd and 29th Rd, alongside local landmarks such as Bonds Mill Ave, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of the Kansas prairie.
