2021 Map of Tschetter Colony

About this map

Tschetter Colony sits near the winding course of the James River in this rural section of Hutchinson County. The landscape is defined by the agricultural grid of the Public Land Survey System, with numerous small wetlands scattered across the prairie. The map provides significant genealogical value through the documentation of early local burial sites, including the Saint John's Lutheran Cem Wittenberg, the Bäumback Cem, and the Wittenberg Cem. These sites, along with the names of local roads like Tschetter Ave and Colony Rd, reflect the settlement patterns and communal history of the area. Waterways like Lonetree Cr and Furlong Cr drain the southern portions of the territory, cutting through the section lines that otherwise dominate the geography.
