2022 Map of Stephen West

About this map

Stephen sits on the eastern edge of this western Marshall County landscape, where the town's grid meets the agricultural reaches of the Red River Valley. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Tamarac River as it meanders through the northeast, contrasting with the strictly linear drainage engineering of the modern era. These man-made features, including Lateral Number One and Lateral Number Two, illustrate the extensive water management systems required to sustain the region's productive farmlands. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment organized by a precise section-line road network, anchored by Co HWY 22, which serves as a primary north-south corridor for the area's farming community.
