2009 Map of Holton

About this map

Holton serves as the primary hub of this Jackson County landscape, where established street grids like Oak Ave and E 8th St meet the rural section-line roads of the Kansas plains. The area's water management is anchored by the Holton City Dam at Prairie Lake, while the surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including Elk Creek, Banner Creek, and Bills Creek. Smaller settlements such as Birmingham and Denison provide localized points of interest for those tracing the development of small-town Kansas in the early 21st century. The presence of Bruck Cemetery offers a specific destination for genealogists, while the transition from named city streets to numbered rural routes like 246 RD and 190 RD illustrates the intersection of urban planning and agricultural tradition in the region.
