2012 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland and the small settlement of Acme anchor this portion of Dickinson County, Kansas, where the agricultural grid of the central plains is defined by a dense network of section-line roads. The landscape is primarily drained by the winding course of Holland Cr, which cuts a serpentine path through the strictly rectilinear layout of avenues and roads. This survey documents the rural character of the area in the early 21st century, a place where local history is preserved at sites like Harmony Cem and Green Lawn Cem. The orientation of transport, from Fair Rd to Solomon Rd, reflects a century of land use dedicated to farming and ranching, with the few named settlements serving as local nodes within the expansive prairie network.
