2018 Map of Potter

About this map

Stranger Creek and its many tributaries, including Camp Creek and Mooney Creek, carve a rolling agricultural landscape at the meeting point of Atchison, Jefferson, and Leavenworth Counties. The settlement of Potter anchors the eastern edge of the map, while Cummings and Hawthorne sit further west along the established road network. This 2018 survey reveals a territory deeply marked by its rural heritage, shown through numerous family and community burial grounds such as Ashcraft Cemetery, Round Mound Cemetery, and Springhill Cemetery. The complex network of township roads, such as Curlew-Cummings Road and Rooks North Road, follows the high ridges between drainage basins, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the development of these northeastern Kansas communities.
