2015 Map of Dresden North

About this map

Dresden and its surrounding prairie landscape are documented in this 2015 survey, which details the agricultural grid of Decatur County. The map provides precise locations for the Dresden Cem and Jackson Cem, serving as critical points of reference for genealogical research in this part of Kansas. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Prairie Dog Cr and Big Timber Cr, which cut through the township sections and influence the local road network. A system of county roads, including Co RD 491 and 1700th Rd, connects the dispersed homesteads and farms to the central settlement. The survey illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t4s r28w providing the underlying structure for modern property boundaries and land use.
