2018 Map of Stanton SW

About this map

The Tarkio River and its accompanying forks dominate this agricultural landscape in Page County. The drainage network, featuring the W Tarkio Cr and E Tarkio Cr, creates a rhythmic pattern of ridges and valleys across the township. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of southwest Iowa, where a strict section-line road grid—including Ironwood Ave and Lumber Ave—defines the movement of people and commerce. Genealogical researchers will find two significant burial sites preserved within this grid: Baker Cem located near the center of the township and Summit Cem situated in the southeastern corner. The map also distinguishes between maintained thoroughfares like Co Hwy M56 and more primitive tracks, such as the designated Level B Rd, reflecting the varied accessibility of this farming country.
