2017 Map of Hillsview

About this map

Hillsview sits at the intersection of a grid-dominated prairie landscape in McPherson County, defined by its agricultural section lines and an extensive network of ephemeral wetlands. This 2017 survey shows the sparse but resilient settlement pattern of the region, where gravel roads like 331st Ave and Co Hwy 12 connect isolated farmsteads across the high plains. A significant local landmark for genealogy and local history is Saint Joseph Cem, located south of the main cluster of homes along 120th St. The landscape is dotted with numerous small basins and prairie potholes, reflecting the characteristic glacial topography of the Dakotas and its impact on local land use and transportation routes.
