1989 Map of Hymer

About this map

The Cottonwood River and Middle Creek converge in the southern portion of this landscape, framing the small settlement of Elmdale. This late 1980s data reflects a geography defined by its watercourses and resource extraction, with an Oil and Gas Field and a separate Gas Field marking the upland sections. Smaller communities like Hymer and Rockland are connected by a network of drainage systems, including Diamond Creek and Schaffer Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the location of the Elmdale Cem and various unnamed quarries and a Gravel Pit provide specific points of interest for land use and family ties in the region. The map also traces modern infrastructure, such as a major Pipeline cutting through the terrain near Neva, showing the layer of industrial utility over the rural Kansas drainage basin.
