2018 Map of Heaton

About this map

Heaton stands as the central settlement in this Wells County landscape, situated amidst a systematic grid of section roads that define the North Dakota prairie. The geography is characterized by the meandering path of Pipestem Cr, which winds through the central and western portions of the quadrangle, breaking the geometric regularity of the township and range lines. Local history is anchored at the Heaton Cem south of the main townsite, providing a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing families from this agricultural region. The town’s layout is clearly delineated by streets such as Williams St and Main St, while the surrounding sections like t146n r70w and t146n r69w reveal the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the rural homesteading patterns of the Northern Plains.
