2015 Map of Storla

About this map

Storla sits at the northern edge of this Dakota prairie landscape, an area defined by the meandering course of Firesteel Creek and its tributary, the W Br Firesteel Cr. The 2015 survey reveals a classic section-line road grid, including 395th Ave and 247th St, which connects isolated agricultural homesteads. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds that dot the townships, such as the Victor Lutheran Cem near the center of the sheet and the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem to the south. The proximity of Knutson Cem near the southwestern corner further emphasizes the importance of these sites to the area's genealogical history. This map documents a region where three counties converge—Aurora, Sanborn, and Davison—marking a significant administrative boundary intersection amid the drainage basins of the plains.
