About this map

The Platte River and its various tributaries, including Leggett Cr and Newell Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Grant County landscape. The road network is heavily influenced by the historic corridor of Us-18, which runs parallel to the legendary Military Rd through the northern half of the region. Small settlements and points of interest such as Stitzer, Preston, and Annaton serve as local hubs, while Lancaster Junction indicates the importance of transportation connectivity in this rural area.

Local land use is represented by specialized labels such as Larch Grove Farm, reflecting the agricultural character that has long shaped these highlands. The presence of Crow Br and Fennimore Fork highlights the intricate network of small waterways that feed into the larger river systems, while roads like Brown School Rd and Mill Dam Rd hint at the locations of former community centers and industry that once anchored the local economy.
