2011 Map of Carleton

About this map

Carleton serves as the central hub of this Thayer County landscape, where the Carleton Post Office and a grid of residential streets including 2nd St anchor the local community. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Creek, which meanders east-to-west across the central plains. Water management and local aviation are evident through features such as the Weddell Reservoir, secured by the Weddell Dam, and the nearby Lippitt Dam. For genealogists and local historians, the Summit Cemetery in the northern portion of the quadrangle provides a significant point of reference. The area maintains its rural character with the Folkerts Airport and a disciplined network of section-line roads like Road X and Road Y that facilitate transport across the agricultural heartland.
