2010 Map of Duncombe

About this map

The town of Duncombe and the surrounding prairie landscape of Webster County are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and several winding watercourses. Settlement is clustered around the Duncombe Post Office and the smaller community of Highview, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the recreation area surrounding Brushy Creek Campground. This 2010 survey provides a valuable resource for genealogists, as it documents several historic burial grounds across the township, including Saint Josephs Cemetery near the northern border, Washington Cemetery, Blanchard Cemetery, and the Ober and Scott Cemetery further south. The drainage patterns of Brushy Creek, Prairie Creek, and Brewers Creek break the rectilinear field patterns, indicating the natural topography that shaped early land claims and road placements like Stagecoach Rd.
