2014 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Mapleton sits as a primary settlement in this section of Cass County, defined by a distinct grid of agricultural roads and the winding path of the Maple River. The landscape is a classic example of Red River Valley topography, where the drainage patterns of the Rush River and the Lower Br Rush River cut across a strictly surveyed section line system. Small communities like Prosper and Newman punctuate the northern half of the quadrangle, serving as focal points for the surrounding rural territory. Local family and historical connections are anchored at the Mapleton Cem and along streets such as Carl Olsen St. The infrastructure reflects a modern transition, with the intersection of Meridian Rd and southern transit corridors providing a link between the agricultural hinterland and the developing outskirts of the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area.
