2020 Map of Carrington West

About this map

Carrington serves as the focal point of this Foster County landscape, situated where the central plains transition into a mosaic of wetlands and small water bodies. The town's grid is anchored by the Foster County Court House and extends toward the Carrington Municipal Airport to the west. Outside the city limits, the terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, featuring the meandering Pipestem Cr and Little Pipestem Cr which flow through the southwestern sections. For those researching local family history, the Riverdale Cem is a significant landmark located west of the main settlement. The presence of Russell Lake and Scotts Slough reflects the glacial topography typical of this region, creating a distinctive pattern of prairie potholes and seasonal water features that dictate the layout of the section lines and rural road network.
