About this map

Buckner Creek and its various tributaries, including several stretches of Dry Creek, define this rural Hodgeman County landscape. The mapping focuses on the agrarian and industrial infrastructure north and west of the town of Hanston. Settlement is concentrated along the southern edge of the quadrangle, where Lincoln St and the community of Gray are situated near the waterway.

Evidence of the local energy and community history is visible through the Hanston-Oppy Oil Field and the Hanston Cemetery. Further north, the terrain is marked by the winding path of the Pawnee River, where Dungans Crossing provides a specific point of historical interest for those tracing early travel routes or family land holdings. The grid of section roads, such as Bazine Rd, underscores the systematic division of the Kansas prairie during this era of late 20th and early 21st-century land use.
