2016 Map of Axtell

About this map

Axtell anchors the northeastern corner of this Marshall County survey, showing the town's grid and its relationship to the surrounding agricultural landscape of the 21st century. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Snipe Cr, Little Timber Cr, and Ackerman Cr, all of which feed into the N Fork Black Vermillion River that winds through the southern reaches. This modern topographic study reveals a highly organized section-line road network, including many named routes like Indian Rd and Limestone Rd, that trace the legacy of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists and local historians will find the Mission Covenant Cem centrally located along Limestone Rd, providing a specific geographic point for local family research in this prairie region.
