2016 Map of Storden

About this map

Storden serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Cottonwood County, where the township grid is punctuated by numerous prairie basins and glacial lakes. Significant for local historians and genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Old Westbrook Cem in the north, Storden Cem just west of the town center, and Bethany Cem to the east. These sites, along with the surrounding farmstead roads like 370th Ave and 300th St, outline the settlement patterns of this rural community. The hydrology of the area is particularly prominent, featuring several large water bodies including Hurricane Lake, Bean Lake, and Augusta Lake. Waterways such as Dutch Charley Cr and Highwater Cr wind through the sections, illustrating the natural drainage system that influenced early land use and the placement of the township boundaries.
