2011 Map of Stanton SE

About this map

The Missouri River winds through this landscape in McLean County, defining the local geography as it flows past the meandering banks and small islands of the northern plains. This 2011 survey captures a rural environment structured by a precise grid of section roads like 3rd St SW and 36th Ave SW. This systematic layout reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the North Dakota prairie. For those tracing family histories or early settlement patterns, the map preserves the locations of several localized burial grounds, including Basto Cemetery in the north and the neighboring Alderin Cemetery and Deapolis Cemetery located near the southern bends of the river. The presence of Alderin Creek further details the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of these early landmarks and roads.
