2009 Map of Hanston

About this map

Hanston and the small settlement of Orwell anchor this West-Central Kansas landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a network of energy extraction. The map reveals a region defined by its watercourses, with Buckner Creek and Saw-Log Creek cutting through the terrain. These natural features are matched by human engineering, visible in the Osborne Bridge and Orwell Bridge. Outside the town centers, the land is heavily marked by the petroleum industry, featuring the Hanston-Oppy Southeast Oil Field, Lippoldt Oil Field, and Saw Log Creek Oil Field. This survey provides a look at the rural infrastructure supporting these industries, from Saint Anthony Cemetery to the local road network including Ruff Rd and Old Oil Lease Rd.
