2022 Map of Hessdale

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Hessdale serves as the geographic anchor for this section of Wabaunsee County, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Kansas River watershed. Four distinct burial grounds—Troemper Cem, Kuenzli Cem, Swedish Cem, and Nehring Cem—are dispersed across the township lines, offering significant landmarks for genealogical research and family history. The drainage patterns of Nehring Cr and Kuenzli Cr dictate the winding paths of local thoroughfares like Skyline Rd and Jaketown Rd. This modern survey reflects a rural Kansas environment where early pioneer lineage is still preserved in the naming of geographic features and rural cemeteries, even as the larger infrastructure of the Flint Hills region continues to evolve around these established family plots and historic homestead sites.
