2018 Map of Hope

About this map

The city of Hope anchors this landscape in Dickinson County, defined by its rectilinear grid of streets including N Main St and E Broadway St. This portion of central Kansas is deeply etched by the drainage of Lyon Creek, where the main channel and the W Br Lyon Cr cut through the undulating prairie. The map provides significant detail for genealogical researchers, documenting several historic burial grounds such as Hope Cem, the Pilgrims Home Cem to the north, and the Biehler Gravesite near the southern settlement of Rishel. Church-affiliated sites like the Saint Johns Lutheran Cem and Saint Phillip's Catholic Cem reflect the community's early cultural roots. The surrounding agricultural sections are neatly divided by a network of rural roads like Mink Rd and Sage Rd, illustrating the enduring township and range system typical of the Great Plains.
