2011 Map of Gladstone

About this map

Gladstone sits at the confluence where the Green River meets the Heart River, serving as a central hub for this portion of Stark County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of these waterways and their tributaries, including Antelope Creek and Beaver Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a transition in the local infrastructure, with a regular grid of section roads like 100th Ave SW and 40th St SW overlaying the natural meandering drainage patterns. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Saint Thomas Cemetery near the town center and the more distant Pioneer Cemetery to the south. The proximity of these watercourses to the town site of Gladstone illustrates the historical reliance on river geography for early settlement and agricultural development in the North Dakota plains.
