2011 Map of Almont East

About this map

Big Muddy Creek meanders through this portion of Morton County, creating a complex series of oxbows and bends that dominate the central and southern landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of these waterways, including Hailstone Creek in the northwest, which drain an area primarily organized by a rigid grid of rural roads and section lines. For genealogists and local historians, the Almont Cemetery serves as a significant landmark, situated near the intersection of Sims Rd and 48th St. The road network, including County Hwy 137 and Valley Rd, illustrates the intersection of natural topography and agricultural land division, where routes frequently deviate from the grid to follow the natural contours of the creek valleys.
