2020 Map of Blabon

About this map

Finley and the surrounding agricultural lands of Steele County are defined by the meandering course of the Maple River, which cuts a distinct path through the prairie landscape. This 2020 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by small settlements such as Pickert and Blabon. The layout of the land is strictly organized by township and range lines, including t146n r56w and t145n r57w, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is centered on the local burial grounds, specifically Pickert Cem and Blabon Cem, which serve as permanent records of the area's pioneer families. Small water bodies like Lynch Lake dot the terrain, while a network of rural roads, including Co HWY 11 and 127th Ave Ne, connects the isolated farmsteads that characterize this part of North Dakota.
