2009 Map of Potter

About this map

Potter and Cummings anchor this 2009 survey of eastern Atchison County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Stranger Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a traditional agricultural grid, with settlements like Hawthorne connected by a network of established local roads. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial grounds across the township, including Round Mound Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery near the center of the map, as well as Saint Johns Cemetery, Corpus Christi Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery situated near the southern and eastern borders. The complex drainage system of Crooked Creek, Camp Creek, and Mooney Creek illustrates the undulating terrain that shapes the farmsteads in this part of Kansas, while Walnut Creek cuts through the northeastern corner.
