2017 Map of Danbury

About this map

The valley of Beaver Cr defines the settlement patterns along the Nebraska-Kansas border in this southwestern Red Willow County landscape. The village of Danbury serves as the local hub, centered at the intersection of Decatur St and Grandville Ave, while the smaller community of Marion sits just to the west along the same drainage. This area is characterized by the transition from the relatively flat uplands, divided by an orderly grid of rural roads like Rd 708 and Rd 394, to the deeply eroded creek valleys. Local water management is visible through the presence of Gallatin Reservoir and Vanvleet Reservoir. Genealogists will find the Danbury-Marion Cem positioned between the two namesake settlements, preserving the history of these agricultural communities near the state line.
