2020 Map of Crete

About this map

Crete stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Sargent County, situated along Main St in a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and prairie sloughs. The township's water-rich geography is marked by Bruns Slough, Big Slough, and Dill Slough, which dominate the eastern and central sections of the survey. To the southwest, Lake Taayer borders the small settlement of Hample, which sits at the junction of 88th St SE and 116th Ave SE. The grid of section lines and gravel roads reveals a pattern of rural continuity, where the Immanuel Lutheran Cem in the northeast serves as a silent landmark for local family history. This 2020 edition provides a modern topographic record of these small agrarian communities and the hydrographic features that have shaped the region since its early development.
