2024 Map of Vashti

About this map

Vashti sits at the center of this rural Stutsman County landscape, characterized by the undulating terrain of the Brush Hills and the prominent elevation of Round Top. The area is defined by its agricultural grid and numerous wetlands, which provide a foundation for the Stutsman County Waterfowl Production Area. This conservation land signifies the region's importance to migratory patterns and local ecology. Water flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle along Pipestem Creek, while a network of rural roads like 15th St SE and 67th Ave SE connect the dispersed farmsteads of the Dakota plains. The survey illustrates the intersection of intensive prairie land use and dedicated environmental preservation at the start of the 2020s.
