2011 Map of Stanton

About this map

The town of Stanton serves as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, situated along the winding course of the Elkhorn River. The area’s agrarian character is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the convergence of several waterways, including Butterfly Creek, Sand Creek, and Maskenthine Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant interment sites, such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, Zander Cemetery, and Koch Cemetery. Infrastructure and community gathering points are well-documented, from the Stanton Post Office in the town center to the Stanton County Fairgrounds nearby. Significant water management features are also evident, including the Maskenthine Reservoir, created by the Maskenthine Multiple-Purpose Dam, and the Sand Creek Reservoir 2 located further south, illustrating the region's historical efforts to manage its hydrology for agriculture and flood control.
