About this map

Government Creek dominates the landscape of this portion of Stark County, its meandering path carving through the prairie as it drains toward the south. The creek finally meets the Heart River at the southern edge of the quadrangle, a significant drainage for the region. This 2011 survey illustrates a highly organized township-and-range section system, defined by a rigid grid of local routes such as 91st Ave Sw and 38th St Sw. In the northeast corner, County Rd 139 cuts across the cardinal grid, reflecting the influence of regional connectivity over the local agricultural boundaries. The lack of concentrated town sites emphasizes the area's rural character, where the primary infrastructure consists of access roads for the surrounding ranching or farming operations.
