1970 Map of Hanston NW

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across this rural Hodgeman County landscape, reflecting the agricultural and transit patterns of Western Kansas in the late 1960s. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the route of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels Buckner Creek as it passes through the outskirts of the town. This survey provides significant genealogical value, documenting the Hanston Cem and the Hodgeman Community Ch, alongside smaller landmarks like Dungans Crossing. The terrain is characterized by the broad valley of Marenna and the drainage of Dry Creek, showing a sparse but organized settlement pattern of homesteads and essential infrastructure like the local Substation.
