About this map

The settlement of Stanton serves as a focal point in this portion of Montgomery County, characterized by a grid of residential streets including Frankfort St and Highland St. To the east, the landscape is defined by the recreational waters of Viking Lake, which is fed by Dunns Cr and serves as a significant regional landmark. The map documents several important sites for local genealogy, including Mamrelund Cem and Mamre Cem near the town center, as well as the more distant Arlington Cem to the northeast and North Page Cem along the southern border with Page County.

Water systems dominate the topography, with the Tarkio River and its various branches, such as Little Tarkio Cr and E Tarkio Cr, carving paths through the agricultural sections. In the southeast corner, the West Nodaway River flows near the edge of Villisca, illustrating the transition from the upland divides to the river valley systems that shaped early development in this part of southwestern Iowa.
