2017 Map of Oakes

About this map

Oakes sits at the heart of this landscape, its residential streets organized along fruit-named thoroughfares like Lilac Ave and Nectarine Ave. The town is bounded to the west by the winding path of the James River, while Bear Creek meanders through the northern rural sections. The township structure is strictly defined by a network of numbered section lines, including 81st St SE through 88th St SE, which grid the surrounding agricultural land. On the eastern edge of the community, local heritage is anchored at Saint Charles Cem and Oakes View Cem. The presence of the Oakes Municipal Airport to the north signifies the importance of regional connectivity for this Dickey County hub during the early twenty-first century.
