2012 Map of Maple Leaf

About this map

Maple Leaf marks a quiet settlement in Corson County, situated along the undulating drainage of Oak Cr. The landscape here is defined by the sparse, grid-like intersection of rural transit routes such as 24th St and 27th Ave, reflecting the expansive agricultural and ranching patterns of the Northern Plains. Small, unnamed impoundments and the winding path of the creek create distinct topographical breaks in an otherwise open prairie environment. The road network, including Co Rd-13-2 and various other stretches of Co Rd, connects the isolated farmsteads and points of interest that characterize this border region between the Dakotas in the early twenty-first century. This survey documents the area as it appeared before further modern shifts in rural infrastructure.
