2019 Map of Anthony

About this map

Anthony and its surrounding agricultural township are defined by the meandering course of the Marsh River as it winds through this portion of Norman County. The landscape is structured by a precise grid of rural roads, including 180th St and 240th Ave, which serve the scattered farmsteads of the Red River Valley. This 2019 survey highlights a significant concentration of local heritage sites, particularly for genealogists researching the area's early settlement. Several well-preserved burial grounds are documented, such as the Anthony Cem, the East Marsh River Cem, and the Concordia Menighed Cem. The presence of the State-Ditch-Number-Sixty-eight indicates the extensive water management and drainage infrastructure required to support the region's productive grain farming.
