2012 Map of Gretna

About this map

Gretna and the surrounding agricultural lands of Edmunds County are defined by a rhythmic grid of sectional roads and glacial prairie potholes. This 2012 survey shows a landscape dominated by small, scattered water bodies and wetlands that punctuate the high plains. The small settlement of Gretna sits at the junction of 134th St and several county avenues, serving as a quiet focal point in this sparsely populated region. To the south, the Cloyd Valley Cem remains a significant landmark for local genealogy, located along 331st Ave. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the public land survey system, where roads like 131st St and 334th Ave form the primary infrastructure for the area's farming and ranching operations.
