2015 Map of Hopewell

About this map

Hopewell serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape along the boundary of Stafford Co and Pratt Co in central Kansas. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Rattlesnake Cr, which cuts through the northern sections of the survey. A rigid grid of section roads, including Macksville Rd and Emerson Rd, structures the rural homesteads and fields that dominate the territory. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial grounds such as Pleasant Plains Cem and Byers Cem, providing essential markers of the area's early settlement. This survey documents the intersection of natural drainage patterns with the systematic land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, specifically within townships like t25s r15w and t26s r14w.
