2020 Map of Stayton NE

About this map

Silverton serves as the primary hub in this portion of Marion County, where the waters of Silver Creek and Brush Cr meet. The surrounding landscape is defined by the high ground of the Waldo Hills and the productive flats of Howell Prairie, an area long known for its agricultural vitality. This 2020 map documents a sophisticated water management system through numerous private and named catchments such as Stadeli Reservoir, Kuenzi Reservoir, and the uniquely named S M S Reservoir Number One. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of rural burial grounds, including the Mount Hope Cem, Pratum Cem, and the Kimsey - Walker Cem. The presence of the Iron Crown Airport south of town indicates the continued integration of private aviation into this rural landscape, while the meandering paths of the Pudding River and its south fork continue to shape the district's drainage and topography.
