2015 Map of Pence

About this map

The small settlement of Pence serves as the focal point for this section of western Kansas, where the landscape transitions across the Logan Co and Scott Co border. This area is characterized by a sparse grid of section roads and the natural relief of Timber Canyon, which provides a distinct break in the High Plains topography. Local heritage is preserved at the Pence Cem and the Scott Mennonite Cem, reflecting the area's social and religious foundations. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural landscape, with named routes like Dakota, Coyote, and Bison Rd providing the essential framework for travel between remote homesteads and larger regional centers. For those studying the rural development of Scott County, this survey documents the late 20th-century road network and the enduring markers of its small-town community.
