2016 Map of Anthony

About this map

The Marsh River winds through the rural landscape of Norman County, defining the agricultural character of this region. The small settlement of Anthony serves as a local focal point, surrounded by a grid of section roads like Co Rd 147 and 230th Ave. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the area is home to several distinct burial grounds, including the Anthony Cem, East Marsh River Cem, and the West Petri- East Marsh River Cem, reflecting the early community's roots. Further south, the Concordia Menighed Cem sits near the 180th Avenue crossing. The land is marked by an extensive drainage network, most notably the State Ditch Number Sixty-eight, which alongside the river's natural course, underscores the historical efforts to manage these fertile lowlands for farming.
