About this map

Twelvemile Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Twelvemile Creek, meander across this agricultural landscape in Stevens County. The terrain is defined by a strictly rectilinear grid of rural routes, including County Hwy-13 and County Hwy-17, which facilitate movement through the open prairie. Several water bodies interrupt the farm plots, most notably Mud Lake and Fish Lake in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of County Ditch Number Fifteen underscores the importance of water management and drainage in maintaining the productivity of this fertile region. While primarily rural, the dense network of numbered county highways demonstrates a highly organized infrastructure connecting the dispersed farmsteads of the early twenty-first century.
