2022 Map of Potter

About this map

Stranger Creek winds through this rural landscape at the meeting point of Atchison, Jefferson, and Leavenworth Counties. The settlement patterns of the early 21st century are well-defined here, centered on the communities of Potter, Hawthorne, and Cummings. A significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, Ashcraft Cem, and Round Mound Cem, provides a genealogical framework for the region. The map reveals how local transit and property boundaries follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Hand Rd and 246th Rd defining the grid. Watercourses such as Camp Creek and Mooney Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped farm placement and land use across these Kansas townships.
