2013 Map of Stanley

About this map

Stanley sits at the southern edge of this Buchanan County landscape, where the local road network converges at Co Hwy W33. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters of several key regional waterways, including the Little Volga River in the north and the S Fork Maquoketa River on the eastern boundary. This area serves as a significant drainage divide, as evidenced by the branching paths of the W Br Buffalo Cr and E Br Buffalo Cr that meander through the agricultural plots. The grid of rural roads, such as 80th St and N Ave, follows the precise section lines typical of the Midwest, providing access to the small community of Scott and the various farmsteads that have shaped this prairie land for generations. The presence of Hazelton Cr in the west further emphasizes the importance of these small riparian corridors to the local ecology and historical land division.
