2018 Map of Hunter

About this map

Hunter serves as the primary hub of this North Central Kansas landscape, situated near the convergence of Mitchell, Lincoln, Osborne, and Russell counties. The terrain is defined by the branching drainage of Spillman Cr, including the distinct paths of N Br Spillman Cr and S Br Spillman Cr as they cut through the rural sections. These waterways dictated the placement of early infrastructure, with crossings often near family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial sites, such as Greenwood Union Cem, Elm Creek Cem, and Spillman Cem, which are scattered along the section lines. The map also traces the winding course of Bacon Cr in the northeast, illustrating the traditional rural grid of roads like Ash Grove Rd and Co Line Rd that tie these small agricultural communities together.
