2010 Map of Dexter

About this map

Dexter serves as the central hub of this Cowley County landscape, situated where Grouse Creek and Plum Creek converge. The town's street grid is clearly defined, transitioning into a vast network of numbered section roads that partition the agricultural land. In the southeastern corner lies Hooser, a small community located along a section of 291st Rd. The drainage patterns are a defining characteristic of the area, with Turkey Creek flowing from the northwest to join the larger Grouse Creek drainage system, while Crabb Creek and its tributary Little Crabb Creek wind through the southern sections. This map documents a quiet rural period where the orientation of farms and travel remains dictated by the intricate creek systems and the rigid township and range road network.
