2011 Map of Elgin

About this map

Elgin serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of Grant County, where the street grid expands from S Main St and S Dakota St into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The town is flanked to the south by the Elgin Municipal Airport, while the northern terrain is defined by the winding course of Antelope Creek, which meanders across the prairie in a series of tight oxbows. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern rural infrastructure, with a strictly organized network of section-line roads like 67th Ave SW and 65th St SW facilitating access to the outlying fields. The presence of Golf Club Rd on the eastern edge of the settlement indicates local recreational development amidst the traditional grain and ranching economy of the North Dakota plains.
