2014 Map of Flaxton

The surrounding terrain is a grid of section lines and gravel roads such as CR-2 and 81st Ave NW, interspersed with numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands. In the southeastern corner, Stony Cr provides a natural drainage feature amidst the geometric regularity of the surveyed fields. This document records the rural character of the high plains just after the first decade of the 21st century, showing how modern infrastructure follows the historic settlement patterns established during the earlier era of railroad expansion.
