About this map

The town of Hume serves as the primary hub of this Missouri borderlands landscape, situated just east of the state line where Kansas and Missouri meet. This 2017 study details a rural agricultural environment defined by a dense network of country roads such as State Hwy A and SW 9508 Co Rd, which divide the terrain into traditional section blocks. To the south, the settlement of Amos marks the lower portion of the Bates County and Vernon County border.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several family and community landmarks, including Hume Cem, Lawrence Cem, and Underwood Cem. The landscape is naturally drained by numerous small waterways, notably Walnut Cr in the north and the meandering W Fork Pryor Cr to the south. Rocky Mound stands as a prominent elevation point amidst the prairie terrain, while Raney Lake provides a localized water feature just south of the Hume town center.
