2015 Map of Sutter

About this map

Sutter and Elderville anchor this Hancock County landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply etched by a branching drainage system. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Little Bear Cr and Crystal Glen Cr, which carve through the prairie to create localized relief. For those tracing local genealogy or congregational history, the map is remarkably dense with legacy sites. Numerous burial grounds and houses of worship are preserved here, including the Wythe Presbyterian Cem and the Bethlehem Church of Christ Cem. The intersection of E Highway 96 and the township road system illustrates the modern connectivity of these rural communities, while family-named landmarks like Walker Cem and McGee Cem provide concrete links to the families who established these farmsteads.
