A Lincoln County township map answers two different questions around Beverly: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Here's how to see township lines for Lincoln County, Kansas, on free official maps.
How to use the Lincoln County township map
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near Sylvan Grove sits. Separately, Kansas land near Sylvan Grove comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Denmark may span two.
Opening the Lincoln County parcel viewer

How to look up a township in Lincoln County
The ORKA parcel viewer is the quickest Lincoln County township map for most people: switch on boundaries and click a parcel near Denmark. Some Lincoln County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Sylvan Grove cites T and R numbers.
How the survey grid is numbered
On a grid map of Lincoln County, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Lincoln County make sense in reverse: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the Lincoln County grid. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Lincoln County.
Old names and overlapping districts in Lincoln County
Older deeds near Sylvan Grove may name a township differently than today's Lincoln County records, so compare the legal description too. Road maintenance questions near Denmark depend on if a road is a state, county or local road, so ask the county highway office if you're unsure.
