About this map

Densmore occupies the southwestern corner of this survey, situated near the headwaters of the N Fork Solomon River. The landscape is defined by the sharp dendritic drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Skull Cr, Cactus Cr, and Sand Cr, which cut through the high plains of the Norton and Phillips County line. These waterways have carved a complex topography that historically dictated the placement of early roads and homesteads in the region.

Evidence of the local community and its heritage is visible at the Mount Calvary Cem just northwest of the town site. The map also records several small water bodies, notably Big Dutchman Lake, which sits tucked into the drainages of Skull Cr. The township grid system, marked by labels such as t4s r21w, overlays the natural terrain with a network of rural routes including Road S and Rd W, showing how the land was organized for 21st-century agricultural use.
