2014 Map of Sutton SW

About this map

Mabel Cem sits as a solitary landmark in this section of the Prairie Pothole Region, located north of the border where Stutsman Co meets Griggs Co. The landscape is defined by the high density of small, scattered wetlands and depressions characteristic of the North Dakota plains. The map illustrates a rigid section-line road network, including north-south routes like 98th Ave SE and 100th Ave SE, intersected by east-west corridors such as 4th St SE and 8th St SE. This grid-based development reflects the systematic agricultural partitioning of the Great Plains, where transportation and settlement patterns are dictated by the land survey system. Local connectivity is anchored by Cr-3, which traverses the undulating terrain between the numerous unnamed water bodies that dot the countryside.
