2012 Map of Pence

About this map

Pence is the central hub of this Scott County landscape, representing a quiet settlement where agricultural life and spiritual heritage intersect. This region of Kansas is defined by its rectilinear road grid, which follows section lines across the prairie. Local history is anchored at the Pence Cem and the Scott Mennonite Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The road network utilizes distinctive animal and tribal names, including Dakota, Bison, and Coyote, alongside a series of north-south routes like N Beaver Rd, N Apache Rd, and N Cherokee Rd. These roads segment the terrain into broad agricultural tracts, showing how modern land management maintains the traditional township-and-range layout established over a century ago.
