2011 Map of Bantry

About this map

Bantry occupies the northwestern corner of this McHenry County survey, situated at the junction of a local road network that radiates across the prairie. The landscape is defined by the rigid North Dakota section line grid, with arterial routes like 1st Ave N and Center Ave N providing the primary structure for the agricultural area. Moving southeast, the small settlement of Milroy appears along a diagonal transit line, a notable break from the otherwise square geometry of the township roads. This pattern of settlement reflects the typical Great Plains reliance on rail-aligned hubs for grain transport and commerce. The map records the numerous small ponds and depressions characteristic of the regional hydrology, scattered across the sections bounded by roads such as 74th St NE and 67th St NE.
