2009 Map of Dresden North

About this map

Dresden anchors the southern edge of this Decatur County landscape, where the High Plains terrain is defined by the winding paths of seasonal waterways. The drainage of Big Timber Creek dominates the northern reaches, while Prairie Dog Creek meanders across the lower half of the quadrangle. This area reflects the grid-based settlement pattern of Western Kansas, with a network of section-line roads such as Co Rd 340 and Co Rd 348 providing access to isolated farmsteads and rural landmarks. Jackson Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, located north of the creek in an otherwise sparsely populated region. The map captures the agricultural layout of the early 21st century, illustrating how the rural road network, including County Rd and Co Rd 491, facilitates movement between the town of Dresden and the surrounding prairie.
