2017 Map of Crete

About this map

Crete and Hample anchor this agricultural landscape in Sargent County, where the section-line grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the movement of modern roads like 116th Ave SE and 88th St SE. The terrain is characterized by numerous seasonal wetlands and depressions, notably Bruns Slough to the north and Dill Slough further south. These features are typical of the prairie pothole region, where drainage patterns are often discontinuous and centered on local basins. In the southern portion of the map, Lake Taayer provides a significant water body amidst the surrounding fields. The infrastructure, including Co Rd 1, supports a dispersed rural population centered on these small established settlements and the connecting county road network.
