2017 Map of Lawton

About this map

Lawton serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of the northern plains, concentrated at the intersection of Co Hwy 8 and Main St. The landscape is a characteristic prairie mosaic of small wetlands and depressions typical of the region, organized by a rigid grid of local roads including 66th St NE and 107th Ave NE. The map documents the intricate boundary where Ramsey and Walsh Counties meet, specifically as defined by the northernmost township tiers. Beyond the core streets of Chapman St and the township lines, the map traces the Prairie Trl, highlighting the sparse but deliberate transportation network that sustains these rural communities. The high density of wetlands across the townships illustrates the glacial hydrology of the area, where farming and seasonal water bodies coexist within the sectional survey system.
