2011 Map of Edgeley SE

About this map

Finnish Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in the southeast corner of this Dickey County landscape, marking the cultural heritage of the early settlers who established roots in this prairie region. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Maple River and its tributary, Maple Creek, which meander through a strictly partitioned grid of agricultural sections. The geometric precision of the road network, including thoroughfares like County Rd 163 and 13, reflects the systematic land management of the Great Plains. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring rural character of Porter Township, where the landscape is dotted with numerous small potholes and wetlands characteristic of the glaciated prairie pothole region, even as modern infrastructure maintains the section-line routes established over a century ago.
