1978 Map of Densmore

About this map

Densmore serves as the primary settlement on this Northwest Kansas landscape, situated just south of the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The topography is defined by the broad valley of the North Fork Solomon River in the south, while the northern sections are divided into townships including Belle Plain, Grant, and Lincoln. This late 1970s survey captures a rural environment where water management and resource extraction are central, evidenced by Big Dutchmen Lake and various industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a Quarry. Numerous drainage systems including Scull Creek, Cactus Creek, and Timber Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed feeding into the Solomon River. The map also records the boundary line between Norton Co and Phillips Co, providing a clear view of the regional administrative divisions during this era.
