About this map

Edgeley serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of the Great Plains, where the grid of town streets meets the open prairie. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small kettle ponds and wetlands, many of which are protected within the National Waterfowl Production Area. This conservation focus is balanced by the infrastructure of a working rural community, including the Edgeley Airport and the Hartwig Landing Strip, which reflect the region's reliance on aviation for transit and agriculture.

Tracing the waterways, the Maple River and Maple Creek wander through townships such as Nora, Wano, and Golden Glen. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for Mount Hope Cem and Mt Calvary Cem on the outskirts of town. The boundary between La Moure and Dickey Counties cuts across the southern portion of the survey, highlighting the administrative divisions of this agricultural landscape during the early 1980s.
