About this map

Hope serves as the central hub of this Dickinson County landscape, situated where N Main St intersects with the east-west corridor of Broadway St. The town's grid is surrounded by an agricultural expanse defined by long-distance section roads like Nail Rd and Mink Rd. To the east, the Saint Phillips Cemetery stands as a focal point for local genealogy, while the small settlement of Rishel sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding paths of Carry Creek and the West Branch Lyon Creek. In the southeastern corner, the Herington City Dam creates a significant reservoir along Lyon Creek, reflecting the water management essential to this prairie environment. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure at the turn of the 21st century, showing the precise layout of farm-to-market roads such as 400 Ave and Sage Rd.
