2015 Map of Denton

About this map

The town of Denton sits at the intersection of several regional boundaries, including where Brown and Doniphan counties meet. This survey captures a rural landscape defined by its grid of sectional roads and the headwaters of numerous local waterways. Settlement patterns follow the township lines, with the village of Purcell located centrally and Huron appearing to the southwest. The area is marked by several historical burial grounds, including Denton Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Anderson Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing local families. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the S Fork Wolf River, Little Grasshopper Cr, and Independence Cr. These streams carve through the agricultural fields, dictating the placement of farmsteads and the orientation of smaller roads like Ash Point Rd and Black Jack Rd.
