About this map

Anton sits at the intersection of several key rural thoroughfares in the northern reaches of this Washington County landscape. The settlement is positioned along Co Rd 12, serving as a focal point for a vast grid of section roads including Co Rd BB and Co Rd CC. This organization reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System, which partitioned the High Plains into the townships and ranges visible here, such as t3s r52w and t4s r51w.

The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainage of Gordon Creek, which meanders eastward across the central part of the quadrangle. Small, scattered depressions across the prairie collect seasonal water, contrasting with the rigid geometry of the county road network. The map detail is particularly useful for identifying specific land parcels and historical property boundaries defined by routes like Co Rd 8 and Co RD 5 in this agricultural region.
