About this map

Small country cemeteries and ephemeral prairie streams define this corner of Hutchinson County in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is structured by a precise grid of rural roads, including 419th Ave and 280th St, which connect isolated homesteads across the agricultural expanse. The drainage system of Lonetree Cr and several branches of Dry Cr provide the primary topographic relief in an otherwise remarkably level terrain. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating historic church-affiliated burial grounds such as Drei Creek Cem, Friedenfeld Cem, Bethel Cem, and Hoffnungstahl Cem, which remain as permanent landmarks of the area's pioneer settlement patterns.
