About this map

Powell sits as the central point of interest in this section of Edmunds County, illustrating the sparse, grid-dependent settlement patterns of the Great Plains in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a rigid network of section-line roads, including 357th Ave and 145th St, which partition the prairie into large agricultural tracts. The presence of the Pleasant Hill Cem near the intersection of the primary north-south thoroughfare and 145th St provides a vital point of reference for genealogists tracking family histories in this rural township. This survey captures the region's characteristic hydrography, showing numerous small, seasonal prairie potholes and wetlands scattered across the terrain between 364th Ave and 359th Ave.
