About this map

Stanton sits at the northwestern corner of this Montgomery County landscape, its grid defined by streets like Frankfort St and Thorn St. The area's heritage is preserved in local burial grounds such as Mamrelund Cem and Mamre Cem, which serve as significant markers for genealogical research. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward Villisca, a settlement positioned near the banks of the West Nodaway River.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Viking Lake and the surrounding Viking Lake State Park offering a focal point for recreation amidst the agricultural sections. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Tarkio River, Little Tarkio Cr, and E Tarkio Cr, which cut through the township divisions of T72N, T71N, and T70N. This late 2010s survey captures the intersection of rural life and natural resources along the Montgomery and Page County line.
