2009 Map of Scandia

About this map

The Republican River carves a diagonal path through this agricultural landscape in Republic County, anchoring the town of Scandia on its eastern banks. This area of Kansas is defined by its deep reliance on water and transport, where the river meets a grid of rural roads and state highways. To the north, the small settlement of Sherdahl sits near the headwaters of Dry Creek, while the town of Scandia shows a developed grid with streets like Washington St and S Kansas St. Local aviation is represented by the Scandia-Belleville Airport, located just northeast of the town center. The map also documents significant local heritage sites, including Riverview Cemetery overlooking the river and the Lutheran Cemetery further north, which alongside landmarks like School Creek and Mud Creek, provide a detailed view of the rural geography and community infrastructure in the early 21st century.
