2009 Map of Belpre

About this map

Belpre occupies a grid of residential and commercial streets in the Edwards County plains, serving as a localized hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape. The town site is defined by a primary corridor along Hudson Ave and north-south routes including Main St and Dudley St. This 2009 survey illustrates the organized land-division pattern typical of the Kansas prairie, where section lines dictate the placement of county roads such as Co Rd 53 and SW 150th Ave. North of the settlement, the drainage of Wild Horse Creek meanders eastward across the open fields. The infrastructure of the era is anchored by Old Hwy 50, which angles through the northern edge of the town, reflecting the historical transportation network that facilitated the movement of grain and goods through this rural interior.
