2011 Map of Aneta

About this map

Aneta anchors the western edge of this prairie landscape, where the town's residential grid is defined by streets like Moon Ave and Stearns Ave. The surrounding countryside reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Silent Hill Cemetery, Sacred Heart Cemetery, and Holen Cemetery, each offering vital clues for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in Nelson County. The terrain is characterized by the post-glacial hydrology of the Northern Plains, dominated by the large basin of Matson Slough and the waters of Pickeral Lake. A strict section-line road network, featuring routes such as 125th Ave NE and County Hwy 7, cuts across the landscape, connecting the town to the sprawling agricultural fields and minor drainages like Beaver Creek in the northeast corner.
