2012 Map of Webster

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and small sloughs define the landscape surrounding the city of Webster in this 2012 study. The terrain is characterized by hundreds of small depressions filled with water, such as Buchner Slough, interspersed with a rigid grid of section-line roads including 139th St and 430th Ave. This intersection of natural hydrology and systematic agricultural surveying creates a distinct patchwork pattern typical of the eastern Dakotas. Transportation and community infrastructure are concentrated on the eastern edge of the map, where the street grid of Webster expands. Significant landmarks include the local aviation hub at The Sigurd Anderson Airport and historical burial sites like Webster Cem and Saint Otto's Cem, which serve as vital points of interest for genealogists tracing families in Day County.
