2017 Map of Stafford Dam

About this map

Saint Johns Cem stands as a primary landmark in this rural stretch of Edmunds County, situated along the grid of agricultural roads that define the region's topography. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of prairie wetlands and seasonal basins, with Stafford Dam serving as a localized point of water management in the southern portion of the survey area. This 2017 study illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t122n r69w and t121n r70w are partitioned by a precise network of section-line roads, including 350th Ave and 142nd St. The cartography reveals a modern agricultural economy reliant on these thoroughfares, such as Loyalton Rd, which connect remote homesteads and field access points across the northern plains.
