2021 Map of Milbank East

About this map

Milbank and its eastern surroundings are characterized by the organized grid of Grant County section lines and the winding path of the N Fork Yellow Bank River. This landscape reflects a deep history of rural settlement, preserved through a notable concentration of community burial grounds. Local genealogists will find several distinct sites including the Saint Lawrence Cem, Milbank Cem, and the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem to the east. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and prairie potholes, typical of the regional geography, with Lake Albert serving as a significant water feature in the northeast corner. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Milbank Municipal Airport and a network of well-defined county roads such as Co Hwy 12 and Co Hwy 31 that facilitate movement across the agricultural plains.
