2016 Map of Wheaton SE

About this map

Twelvemile Creek and Fivemile Creek meander across this section of the Red River Valley, illustrating the intricate hydraulic management of a prairie agricultural landscape. This 2016 survey documents a region defined by a rigid section-line road grid, where heavy infrastructure such as County Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number Fiftyone has been integrated to facilitate drainage for large-scale farming. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural winding paths of the local creeks. Evidence of early community settlement is preserved at Zion Cemetery along CO RD 82, a point of interest for genealogists tracking local families. The map also captures the convergence of three administrative boundaries, showing where Traverse, Grant, and Stevens counties meet, a detail significant for understanding historical land records and regional jurisdictions.
