2011 Map of Sutton

About this map

The small settlement of Sutton serves as the focal point of this Eastern North Dakota landscape, organized by a precise grid of rural section roads. Located in Griggs County, the town's compact footprint is defined by streets like Whinery St and Main St, showing the persistence of this prairie community into the early 21st century. The surrounding terrain is dominated by the meandering course of Baldhill Creek, which cuts a serpentine path from north to south across the plains. This waterway provides a stark natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the agricultural road network, which includes major thoroughfares such as County Rd 5 and numerous numbered avenues like 97th Ave NE. The map captures the quiet character of the region, where the vast open fields are punctuated only by the occasional farmstead and the life-giving waters of the creek.
