2011 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Mapleton and the surrounding Cass County prairie appear in this 2011 survey as a landscape defined by precise section lines and meandering watercourses. The town of Mapleton sits at the intersection of Meridian Rd and County Rd-10, serving as a central hub for the agricultural region. Local landmarks such as the Mapleton Cemetery on the edge of town provide important touchpoints for family historians. To the north, the small settlements of Prosper and Newman are positioned along the grid of gravel and paved roads. The terrain is shaped by the winding paths of the Maple River, which snakes across the southern portion of the sheet, and the multiple branches of the Rush River, including the Lower Branch Rush River. These waterways offer a stark natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding road network, such as 164th Ave SE and 37th St SE.
