1978 Map of Dresden North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Big Timber Creek and Prairie Dog Creek meander across this northwest Kansas landscape, carving through the high plains of Decatur County. The township organization is clearly marked, dividing the territory into Altory, Center, Custer, Jennings, Lyon, and Dresden. At the time of this 1970s survey, the regional economy was defined by a mix of agriculture and energy extraction, as evidenced by a designated Oil Field, numerous Oil Wells, and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northeastern corner. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which runs through the southern section near the community of Dresden. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated at the Jackson Cem and the small settlement of Custer, while several scattered Wells and a Sandpit indicate the essential water and material resources of the era.
