2021 Map of Ordway

About this map

Elm River meanders through the heart of the Brown County countryside, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape just north of the Aberdeen city limits. This survey illustrates the contrast between the historic township grids and modern residential development, most notably at Prairiewood Village in the south and the established settlement of Ordway. The northern reaches of the quadrangle remain dominated by section lines and water features like Alkali Lake, while the southern portion reveals a growing suburban footprint through named residential thoroughfares such as Prairiewood Dr and Ironwood Dr. The map provides a precise view of the rural-to-urban transition in the early 21st century, showing how newer infrastructure like Co Hwy 12 and W Richmond Rd connects these evolving communities to the regional hub.
