About this map

The town of Hopkins serves as a focal point on this border-straddling survey, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks run parallel to the Hundred and Two River. The map depicts a densely settled rural landscape defined by small-scale community structures, including numerous schools such as Lone Elm Sch and Hickory Grove Sch, and several family-named burial grounds like Burch Cem and Morehouse Cem.

Drainage patterns are intricate throughout this section of Atchison and Nodaway, with Wolf Creek and Clear Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of both Good Hope Ch and Unity Ch suggests established social centers for the surrounding farmstead population. A notable landform, The Mound, rises near the river forks, providing a distinct landmark in an otherwise rolling topography of creeks and branches.
