2009 Map of Densmore

About this map

Densmore occupies a position in the southwestern portion of this Norton County landscape, situated near the confluence of Sand Creek and the North Fork Solomon River. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of intermittent streams that carve through the high plains, including Big Timber Creek and the aptly named Cactus Creek to the northeast. A structured grid of section-line roads, such as Road S and Rd A A, organizes the agricultural territory, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. The river valley provides a natural corridor for the major east-west transportation route and the town itself, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle, crossed by Scull Creek, remain predominantly rural and open. This 2009 edition documents the modern rural infrastructure of the Kansas prairie as it exists within this historic watershed.
