About this map

Stanton serves as the primary hub of this Montgomery County landscape, situated where the Tarkio River and Little Tarkio Creek converge. The town's civic life is centered around the Stanton Post Office, while its heritage is preserved in the nearby Mamrelund Cemetery and Mamre Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by a grid of agricultural roads that cross numerous waterways, including East Tarkio Creek and the West Nodaway River in the southeast corner.

Viking Lake provides a significant hydrological feature to the east, fed by Dunns Creek. This 2010 survey also highlights several smaller community burial grounds, such as Arlington Cemetery and North Page Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of Erickson Prairie near the center of the map indicates preserved natural terrain amidst the established farmstead patterns of southwest Iowa.
