2015 Map of Hoisington

About this map

Blood Creek and its various tributaries, including Deception Creek and Sellens Creek, carve a rolling path through this portion of Barton County. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like NW 180 Road and NW 40 Avenue following section lines across the prairie. The settlement of Boyd sits west of the primary urban center, while South Hoisington marks the southern edge of the community near the junction of S Main St and Hoisington Ave. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Olivet Cemetery and Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Cemetery, which serve as permanent anchors for the area's local history. The map shows the transition from the structured residential streets of the town to the wide-open agricultural tracts of the surrounding townships.
