1939 Map of Pence

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Ladder Creek and Chalk Creek carve distinct east-west drainages across this section of the High Plains, defining the rural character of western Kansas at the end of the 1930s. The landscape is organized into a rigid township grid, where the boundaries of Paxton, Beaver, Isabel, and Elton meet at the intersection of Logan, Wichita, and Scott counties. This survey reveals a remarkably high density of rural schoolhouses, suggesting a decentralized but active farming population before the mid-century trend toward school consolidation.
