USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Hume stands as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the Missouri-Kansas border, shortly before the mid-century shift in rural education and infrastructure. The town's proximity to the Kansas City Southern railroad highlights its historical role as a shipping point for the surrounding farm country. The topography is defined by drainage systems like Walnut Creek and the West Fork Pryor Creek, with the prominent Rocky Mound providing a rare elevation point in the undulating terrain of Walnut and Howard townships.
