2012 Map of Stephan

About this map

Stephan sits at the northern edge of this prairie landscape, where the road network transitions from the structured grid of 338th Ave and 216th St into the winding drainages of the Missouri River watershed. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several significant local streams, including Campbell Cr and W Fork Elm Cr, which carve subtle paths through the high plains. Water management and local drainage patterns are evident in the presence of Lake Ambrose and the larger Lake Boehm in the northeast. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the Fort Thompson District, showing a land primarily organized by section-line roads like 222nd St and the isolation of small water bodies that serve as vital landmarks in this expansive environment.
