2020 Map of Millarton

About this map

Millarton and Sydney anchor this prairie landscape along the southeastern edge of Stutsman County, where the topography transitions into the expansive Minneapolis Flats. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road network, with numbered routes like 54th St SE tracing the border with LaMoure County to the south. Water is a defining element of this rural terrain, dominated by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and its tributary, Cottontail Creek. Small wetlands and prairie potholes are scattered throughout, culminating in the Wild Rice Slough near the southern boundary. This 2020 survey documents the enduring agricultural footprint of the region, where the historical settlement at Sharlow and the surrounding townships maintain a pattern of life defined by the vast drainage basins of the North Dakota plains.
