2015 Map of Dresden South

About this map

Dresden and Leoville anchor the high plains of northwest Kansas on this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic sheet. The landscape is defined by the section-line grid of the Public Land Survey System, with an extensive network of rural roads such as 1400th Rd and 1500th Rd crossing the undulating terrain. To the south, the N Fork Solomon River cuts through the southern reaches of Sheridan County, while the northern section in Decatur County features the concentrated street plan of Dresden, including Railroad St and Kings Ave. The proximity of the county line between Decatur Co and Sheridan Co reveals how regional boundaries intersected with established transit routes like State Hwy 223. This map reflects the enduring agricultural structure of the region, where drainage patterns from the river basin dictate the placement of local thoroughfares and homestead boundaries.
