2018 Map of Sutter

About this map

Elderville and Sutter anchor this 2018 survey of rural Hancock County, characterized by a persistent grid of county roads that navigate the intricate drainage basins of the Mississippi River watershed. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Little Bear Cr and Crystal Glen Cr, which dictate the placement of farms and small settlements. A notable density of religious and commemorative sites speaks to the deep-rooted community history of the area. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Wythe Presbyterian Cem, Bethlehem Church of Christ Cem, and the Salem Church-Sutter Cem. These locations, often situated near minor crossroads like E Co RD 900 or Co HWY 24, mark the enduring presence of early families such as those at Walker Cem or McGee Cem. The map illustrates the careful balance between the rigid Section-Township-Range system and the winding natural topography of Rocky Run and Railroad Cr.
