2022 Map of Pence

About this map

Pence is the central settlement in this portion of western Kansas, where the high plains meet the headwaters of Timber Canyon. Situated near the Logan and Scott County line, the area is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and local connectors such as N Beaver Rd and N Cherokee Rd. The landscape reflects the importance of community and heritage in this rural prairie environment, anchored by the Pence Cem and the Scott Mennonite Cem. North of the town center, the terrain drops toward the rugged breaks of Timber Canyon, providing a sharp contrast to the level farmland that dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. The map details the local infrastructure of the early 2020s, showing a network of rural roads like Bison Rd and N Eagle Rd that facilitate the region's ranching and dryland farming economy.
