1939 Map of Pence

About this map

A high plains landscape defined by the intersection of three counties—Logan, Wichita, and Scott—emerges in this 1939 survey. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Chalk Creek and Ladder Creek, which provide the primary geographical relief across the townships of Paxton and Beaver. The settlement pattern is markedly rural, characterized by a grid of section lines and a distributed network of one-room schools that served the isolated farming families of the pre-war era.
