2012 Map of Potter

About this map

Stranger Creek and its many tributaries, including Mooney Cr, Crooked Cr, and Howard Cr, define the drainage patterns across this section of Atchison County. Small agricultural settlements anchor the landscape, with Cummings located to the west and Potter in the east, the latter showing a concentrated grid of streets like 2nd St near the creek's edge. The small community of Hawthorne sits further north, marking the intersection of 238th Rd and Ness Rd. For those researching local family history, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds, such as Round Mound Cem, Springhill Cem, and Ashcraft Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural sections. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of named township roads, from Phillips Rd to Rawlins Rd, which follow the section lines and connect these outlying homesteads and historical cemeteries.
