2012 Map of Hope

About this map

The agricultural heart of Dickinson County centers on Hope, a town structured by a grid of streets including Hope Ave and E Broadway St. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape of established section lines and rural crossroads, where life is organized around the drainage basins of Carry Creek and the West Branch Lyon Creek. The community’s history is anchored by three distinct burial grounds: Hope Cemetery at the town's edge, Saint Phillips Cemetery to the south, and Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery to the east, each serving as a vital touchstone for local genealogy. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the Herington Reservoir provides a significant water feature near the small settlement of Rishel, reflecting the region’s management of prairie waterways like Lyon Creek.
