About this map

Hunter stands as the primary rail-side settlement in this late-1960s Kansas landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The terrain is characterized by the winding courses of Bacon Creek and the North Branch and South Branch of Spillman Creek, which carve through the agricultural townships of Custer, Cedron, and Hanover.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the county borders, including Greenwood Union Cem near the town center, Elm Creek Cem to the west, and Spillman Cem in the southeast. The survey also captures the local extraction industry with numerous Gravel Pit locations, while the prominent elevation of Blue Hill rises in the northeast corner of the quadrangle. The intersection of three counties—Mitchell, Lincoln, and Osborne—occurs in the western portion of the map, illustrating the administrative boundaries of this rural farming district.
