2009 Map of Bentley

About this map

Bentley serves as the primary hub of this rural Kansas landscape, where the town grid is anchored by the Bentley Post Office along W Eagle Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by the agricultural section lines that grid the prairie, intersected by the meandering path of the Arkansas River in the southwest corner and the drainage network of Kisiwa Creek and its North Branch. The map illustrates a developed network of rural thoroughfares, including named routes like Old Settlers Rd and S Spring Lake Rd, which provide access to scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots. The layout reveals the persistent structure of midwestern land division, showing how local transit and water resources dictated the placement of small-town centers during this era of 21st-century farming.
