2011 Map of Millarton

About this map

Minneapolis Flats stretches across this landscape in Stutsman County, defined by a grid of rural section roads and small agricultural settlements. The rural character of this North Dakota region is anchored by the small communities of Sydney, Sharlow, and Millarton, which are linked by a network of numbered section lines like 46th St SE and 51st St SE. Waterways such as Buffalo Creek and Cottontail Creek meander through the prairie, eventually leading toward the Wild Rice Slough in the southeast corner. The aerial needs of the local farming economy are reflected in the presence of private airstrips, including the Henry Fietzer Landing Field and Rons Aerial Spraying Landing Field. This 2011 survey captures the area's enduring reliance on the land and the precise organization of the High Plains township system.
