2020 Map of Sutton SW

About this map

The prairie landscape of the central Dakotas is defined here by the administrative boundary between Stutsman Co and Griggs Co, which runs north-south through a region dominated by glacial depressions and seasonal wetlands. The rural survey is anchored by Mabel Cem, a significant marker for local genealogical research located along 4th St SE. This grid of section roads, including 98th Ave SE and 11th St SE, illustrates the persistent township and range system that organized agricultural settlement in this part of North Dakota. The map reveals the intricate water patterns of the Prairie Pothole Region, showing numerous unnamed ponds and marshy areas that characterize the terrain between the modern county lines.
