2024 Map of Blabon

About this map

The Maple River meanders through this portion of Steele County, carving a valley across the prairie landscape. The small settlement of Blabon sits at the intersection of Co Hwy 8A and 1st St SE, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. Further north, the hamlet of Pickert is situated along Co Hwy 11. Both locations maintain local historical markers in the form of the Blabon Cem and Pickert Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this rural region. The terrain is dotted with numerous small wetlands and depressions characteristic of the drift prairie, including Lynch Lake in the northern section. This survey illustrates the persistent grid of section lines and county roads, such as 127th Ave NE, that organize the North Dakota countryside.
