2022 Map of Stitzer

About this map

The Platte River and its numerous tributaries, including Leggett Cr and Newell Cr, carve through the rolling agricultural landscape of Grant County. Small rural settlements like Stitzer, Preston, and Annaton are connected by a network of local roads such as Military Rd and Townline Rd, reflecting the region's enduring rural character. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the Stitzer Methodist Cem and Ebenezer Cem, which stand alongside historical points like Lancaster Junction. The terrain is defined by deep cuts like Shaw Hollow and Cass Hollow, which channel water toward the Fennimore Fork in the northern portion of the quadrangle. This layout reveals a persistent land-use pattern where farmsteads and cemeteries are situated along the higher ridges, while the drainage basins of the Crow Br shape the movement of people and livestock.
